And I'm *lucky* in that regard! And yet I find myself triaging book ideas every year. There's at least 3-4 I'd love to write, but keep getting postponed b/c I don't know that I can sell them.

And that process? It sucks.

For my own self, I can manage my day job and write one (1) book per year + sundry short stories.

I have lots of ideas, but I can only do one. Sometimes that idea doesn't pan out! That means a "lost" year.
