Hey Everyone -
I just finished a non-fiction project, and had it published. It was a lot of fun, and I'm happy about the extra cash coming my way, but now I'm ready to get back to fiction, which I miss terribly, and which I'm yet to have any luck with publishing. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, and I have no idea how to ground myself and actually focus on something specific. I have a manuscript that I finished over a year ago, which remains unpolished, and has never been submitted to any agents. Do you think I should return to it and see if anyone is interested in it? Or, should I start something completely different? I haven't written a word of fiction in over a year, and have been so pre-occupied with my non-fic project as well as with my dissertation, (which is essentially another non-fic project) that I feel so overwhelmed and have no idea how to get back in the game.
So, any encouraging advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
