I actually have several projects on the go... one is a Christmas anthology in collaboration with another author, another is a sequel to Gods of the Sea (which appeared in the Pirates and Swashbucklers anthology) while the third is a novel called Retrocarnation which is only in the bare minimum 'just about typed a paragraph' stage of production.

Get yourself a good, reliable cadre of beta readers who are prepared to be honest about your work and tell you what is wrong with it. Then listen to them when they tell you stuff you need to change or fix.

Lurking Miscellany is exactly what it says on the cover... a miscellany of stories that had been lurking on my hard drive for years and which I never thought to publish until recently. I decided it was either publish them now or never see them in print.

Seeing your written work in a published form. Somehow once it is in a printed book it looks so different and so much more professional :)

Generally by walking away from the project and doing something else that I am not blocked on. I often find that the block is caused by exhaustion on one project and a break helps that a lot.
