Guys. We made it. 2016 is done and 2017 is here. Depending on your world view, that's not necessarily a good thing, but hey. The years themselves aren't bad, right? It's the actions we take that are good or bad, and I intend to take a lot of good action in 2017. You can read a bit about that at my Naomi Clark blog if you're so interested. I won't repeat it here, though. Instead I'm going to focus on my one writing resolution for 2017.
I resolve not to start any new projects.
That...that might sound kinda weird, but as of right now, I have twelve open projects across both pen names. And dammit, I want to finish ALL OF THEM in 2017. I'm really prone to getting excited about crazy new ideas and dropping everything to start work on them IMMEDIATELY, whilst neglecting those other projects. Sometimes that's good! It's how I wrote MR. RED. Sometimes it's bad, however, because I end up not getting anything finished. So year. Twelve open projects is easily a year's worth of work, and so I resolve not to start anything new and just focus on finishing these damned works-in-progess.
Under Amber Morgan, I have the following projects to work on:
Wild Blood MC #3 - technically I haven't actually started writing this yet, but I have enough of it planned that it counts.
The Last Sin - Russian mob romance
Keys to the Kingdom - London crime family romance/thriller
Impact - MMA/new adult romance
Blood of Angels - paranormal romance
Last Hope, Alaska - shapeshifter romance
Of these six, Blood and Angels and Last Hope, Alaska, are at the bottom of the to-do list, so if I don't get round to finishing them in the next twelve months, I won't feel too bad about it. But I'm really in love with all the others, and desperate to make as much progress as possible. No distractions! No shiny new ideas! No more messing around! And this time, I mean it! This is going to require a lot of tea.

Hopefully I can resist the temptation to start all the other stories swimming around in my head! Wish me luck, and Happy New Year, everyone! See you soon with some snippets from all these WIPS :D
