The life of a writer can sometimes be a mish-mash of formal writing projects and various work-for-hire gigs. I know of several people who support themselves primarily through freelance work while pressing on with larger projects. It all depends on one's personality, work habits, and goals. We know you are a finisher, Kevin, so that factor isn't an issue. It does seem, at times, that your interest level jumps from one type of writing to another, rather than in a smooth wave of multiple projects, but with your (talented) hands in so many different types of writing, that isn't so unusual. Many of us here have had the advantage of getting to know you over several years of interactions, so my take isn't going to be the same I might give a newbie with similar "shotgun" interests and activity loads. But that's primarily due to your successes in your different areas of creativity. In your particular situation (as far as I have come to know it), I'm confortable in just encouraging you to follow your heart and mind. You are one of those not-so-typical writers who can jump around from writing area to writing area and still be productive and achieve success (even if you consider them all small successes). For most writers, it's best to wear blinders and concentrate on a few projects or nothing gets finished. For you, that approach would be more like painting your creativity into a corner. You need to bounce off walls. I say bounce away, Kev.
