It's really impatient of me, but i'm already planning what I want my next story to be.
I do that all the time! I'm doing it right now.
I know the next 3 novels I'm going to write.

Anyone like the song 'Jar of Hearts' by Christina Perri? I love it. It's so haunting, and melodic, and quite sad. Sort of suits certain parts of my story.
How long are the books typically?
It's weird. I've just realised that becoming a writer is a lot like being a singer. (stay with me - i have a point. lol) In that, when being a singer, you need to find your identity, what your style of voice is, what genre of music you're going to do, etc. The same with writing. It's only just dawned on me. Okay, so i'm slow. BAH! I've spent a while sort of writing what i think i SHOULD be writing, or copying ways other people write, and i find it's not for me. Then i feel like i'm not cut out for writing. But really, i just need to find my own... niche. I'm so behind in the times, i swear, someone needs to slap me upside the head. Right, enough philosophy. Back to editing this piece of crap. Just kidding, I love it really. xD
Holy shit, 180k? Damn, you are quite the prolific writer!
So far in my entire writing career, I've written a draft of my book that was about 30k, one that was 120k, and now this one that's about 60k so far. Lol.
I'm in your boat. Except, take away the 120k draft.
Oh i'm sure it wasn't that bad. I just havent written enough. I'd written plot by plot, and thought i was doing so well getting to 50,000. I guess i didn't pad it out enough, and now i'm regretting it. Oh, well. Good thing i'm not on a schedule!
