I think that to stop a project just running on and on, a target or goal completion date is needed. Rather like needing to hold a party to make sure the decorating is done or the garden completed. I also know that I am far better with short term projects.
To this end I have now decided that my goal is to have the first draft of the book completed by the end of June. That gives me 4 months - not long but then I need to be pushed and I am hoping that the book could be published in time for Christmas! Wow, just thinking about it being an actual book is exciting (and scary at the same time).
So four months and 70,000 odd words to go. That is 18,000 or so words per month = 875 words a day. Quite a few so I had better get cracking.
By the way, I still have not finished cataloguing all my research but it is getting there - I have the boxes now!!
