Older readers of this blog might remember seeing at one point of time or another a guy spinning a bunch of plates on top of poles. He'll get a few going, then has to run back to the first plates and keep them spinning before they wobble and fall down. The poor man keeps running back and forth to keep all the plates spinning so none of them fall and break.
That's what I feel like these days.
I want to write new fiction. I have a project I want to get into shape to get to a copy editor. I have at least 2 projects that I want to self-publish that need to be formatted first.
My house is a wreck. I have people who need me for various things and responsibilities that need to be filled. My list of "Shoulds" is a mile long.
Plus I am somehow supposed to "promote" myself. I haven't quite figured out how to do that yet and how much is too much (I don't want readers of this blog to hate me for constantly flooding them with "buy my stuff! buy my stuff!").
No wonder I'm tired!
Anyone have any advice on how to keep the plates spinning?
