I have SO many projects and drafts of blog posts started. It does serve one good purpose: I get ideas out there so I have something to turn to when I don't know what to write about, especially for my blog or freelance assignments.
But then I have to force myself to finish pieces because resistance is real. First, keeping up on my Substack because I want to build a consistent audience. Second, finishing work I get paid for. Third, work on finishing ONE book at a time.
Ah yes. Resistance. The closer we get to our destination, the more we keep slip-sliding away. Telling that voice to kindly f*ck off so we can write is brilliant! I also love that by examining what that voice is trying to steer you from allows your deepest call to decide what is the highest interest, desire, curiosity, etc.
Great advice, as always, especially about the importance of curiosity. I tell my students something similar: write what's top of mind or calling to you in the moment.

Good tip for ranking the projects. Thank you!
I sometimes ask myself what I should work on next - and an answer often appears.

Oh I love this! Such excellent advice - 'there's no wrong idea!'
