"What's your latest...?"

That's the question I get more than anything:
What are you working on?
What are you writing?
What's your latest?


Being a freelancer, at any given time, there's a project
on all three bases, a batter up, and a project on deck.
It's good to work. But it's good to hit a home run and
get 'em all in, too.

With a couple big hits (writing/editing projects wrapped up),
I'm basking in the home run feeling. And the question comes
back: What's next?

I love the answer: FICTION.
Luscious, rich, intricate, fast-paced, deep water intense
current fiction. Oooh, I can't wait. I look forward to it.

As a writer, whatever you love and look forward to, you
have to return to. Otherwise, life is too strident. Writing
becomes too dry. What was once a passion becomes simply
a job.

Clear the bases. Get to the passion. Swim in the deep.

Don't wait.

Cheers,
EB
