I considered saving them and distributing them throughout further news posts but maybe it’s better to get the pain out of the way in one fell swoop. Here goes…don’t be afraid of setting reasonable goals for your online efforts. Fear is the mindkiller, as you know. Create your work at a pace convenient for you without being too much of a slacker and maybe without reader input. Follow your passion if you really believe in what you’re doing.

Not just writing, but EVERYTHING that I need to work on. lol. Actually, most of the things I do in my life are much like these writing projects you speak of. I start to do one thing and then bounce to another. Before long I have bounced full circle with a fresh outlook and fresh ideas and everything just seems to get fresher with age! It's all a work in progress... Never finished: Just released, after they've been bounced on enough. It's the age old question, of "when is one more stroke one too many?" One thing that I've always felt very strongly about is that I'd rather not release something, at all, than release it too soon. I'm not sure if this approach serves me best, but I feel as though I'd rather have no reputation/rapport than to have it marred. But perhaps every now and again I should just throw something out there, half ass, just to challenge myself to out do it...? Hmm.. Nah.. I'd just bounce back to it and undoubtedly make improvements that I should've done before I released it. However, I may not get another chance to make it's potential impression..
