Now that the day job craziness around Christmas/the December Holidays (Holi-daze??) has finally dropped into my rearview mirror, I can dust off my writing journals and get back to what I do best.

This year, this decade, I have decided that the time has come to clear out the journals full of half-written and barely written stories and completed stories. Obviously, that means finishing the former and typing the latter. I went through the piles of journals (I tend to start a piece either at the beginning of a new journal or halfway through the pages of a previously broken-in journal) and notated all the stuff I’ve started but haven’t finished or finished but haven’t typed. I’ll just say that I have less than fifty incomplete-and-need-writing stories and less than thirty complete-and-need-typing stories. The former range from things that just need an ending to things that I wrote a paragraph or two of before I sidelined it (due to deadlines on Other Things or maybe just losing my place in my mental book). I plan to clear as many of these stories as I can in the next ten years.
