There are a half dozen short story anthologies I 'd love to be included in with deadlines looming shortly. Would love to do these but I probably ought to pick my battles with the ones I want the most and forget the rest rather than having the dozen beginnings and no endings I have sitting in the files right now. I always wondered why Robert E. Howard had so many great tales that weren't finished and now I understand that a little better.
I have my sequel to Heroes of the Fallen needing to be polished up- people even call my Mom wanting to know if they can get a rough draft-(not gonna happen) Really need to do that-I never, ever, meant to take so long finishing an already finished book.
I also need to polish and decide what I want to do with my exiled Spartan novel Bless the Child, I should have sent it to a copy editor friend months ago but I wanted to clean it up even more before I passed it on-still haven't done it. Really need to do that.

My hopes and prayers for Jason Waltz at Rogue Blades Entertainment-that things will get sorted out and the magnificent books Roar of the Crowd and Challenge: Discovery that are waiting in the wings will be released in 2012.
More of my weird western short stories with Porter Rockwell are coming, though I'm not sure on any release dates with those anthologies. Same with the Dagan Books antho of weird sci-fi IN-SITU my tale The Dig is coming some time soon this year.
I meant to get most of my S&S gangster fantasy Gods & Robbers done last year and I didn't-we'll go for this year on that account.

Good luck with all that blitz!
I'm trying for modest (pragmatic) writing goals this year.
I have my eyes on three shorts for anthology calls, two sword-&-planet tales for fun (and if 'Strange Worlds 2' gets underway, I'll be ready) and a novel. I have a couple of ideas for novels, but I think I know which one I want to run with this year.
Thanks Paul, I'll need it.
That's part of my problem, I need to focus on things-finish them-then get on to the next.
Good luck; I'm looking forward to reading some of that. I've got a number of unfinished projects sitting around I need to get wrapped up. And I echo you about Jason Waltz. I also hope things hit an even keel, and he can get those books out, plus Assassins and Challenge: Stealth.
Red Sonya, or maybe even Ghita.
Good luck, David! Get that novel finished.
Keith-yep so many projects so little time.
Very true Aaron.
Angie-much appreciated.
So far I've been able to maintain my own writing discipline this year, but the year is young. I'm hoping. Luck with all your projects.
Thanks Charles, my discipline has slipped the last few months and its a struggle to get back to the point I was at before the move. Best wishes with all your work this busy time of year.
