Priorities

There are people who want to be everywhere at once, and they get nowhere. ~ Carl Sandburg

 

The above quote sums me up. I have a jillion writing ideas. I've even started some of them. 

This is what I want to write:

• Creative non-fiction
• Memoir
• Essays
• Magazine articles
• A novel
• Poetry
• Haiku
• Young Adult novel
• Children’s book
• Short stories
• A bestseller
• A juicy pornographic story

This is what I don’t want to write:

• Science fiction
• A romance novel
• A technical manual
• A comic book

If I tried to write everything that popped into my head, I’d never finish anything. It’s all a matter of priorities. The porno story is the last thing on the list. I figure I’ll be a hundred years old when I get around to that project.
