Selling myself short

I often find myself getting annoyed at my lack of progress. I have a lot of things that I want to do and when I don’t get them done, I get annoyed. Now a lot of this is down to setting unrealistic goals, a habit which I am trying to kick, but there is also an element of not realising what I have achieved.

I have been going through a simplicity drive and as part of that was organising my documents files and folders on the computer, google docs and a host of old USB drives. What surprised me was how far I had got with a lot of creative ideas.

And so I thought I’d list them here for a little encouragement to myself, to finish them, and anyone else to know that I do more than just complain that I don’t get anything done.

  • 40,000 novel complete, finished and being published soon
  • 40,000+ words of a novel – unfinished
  • 10,000+ words of a novel – unfinished
  • 20+ pieces of music in various stages of recorded production
  • one collection of poems – awaiting layout to release as free e-book

And that is without the various images I have at various stages too.

I have learned that I am not great at finishing things, but as the completed novel has shown I can do it. So let’s see what I can finish next.
