My blogging schedule is completely out of whack now with new new job. I’m going to have to develop a new ritual of random ramblingness. I wonder if I can take a pill for that?

I’m going to try and make an effort to get back to the am posts, though. Not that I know how concerned anyone is about that, but it’s one of those things I appreciate. I wake up, I read the other blogs, absorb the intellect, and then go make up my own strange but almost logical (to me) thoughts.

So I’ve been thinking about writing (go figure). And I have a question for the writing world. Each and every one of you. I hear a lot of people say they have two, five, ten, twenty novels and ideas. You people are brilliant and overwhelmingly creative. I’ve been able to determine this from your avalanches of thoughts and story concepts.

I’ve had my fair share of ideas in my lifetime. According to my writing folder, I have hundreds of documents. Lots are short stories. Revisions. Ideas that never panned out. When it comes right down to it, I only have one (mostly) solid novel, and a couple more that are close. But I have dozens of unfinished stories that have been reassigned to new plot lines, been dissected and moved. And I have to wonder if any of them will ever go anywhere.

So that’s my question to all of you. When you say things like “I’ve written twenty novels” Or “I have fifty story ideas”, what does that mean to you? I’m looking for a point of reference ^_^
