Dilemma...

Life has been rather busy of late that my brain was, more often than not, it shut down as soon as I got home from work.

But it did receive a healthy dose of aphrodisiac on the weekend, and it was one that had left me... well... a bit unsure as to which path to take.

I guess I could no longer deny that I am, well and truly, a writer (even if none of my works are currently published). Imagination and creativity are now well and truly running through my veins, dominating any other type of creativity I used to crave and nurture (scrapbooking, cardmaking, crochet, long stitch).

As you know, I am currently in the middle of trying to finish Michael & Lizzy I-III, filling in the holes; each of the novels are currently about 80% done.

I have had bouts of inspiration coming and going lately about... *gulp* my next book. In a nutshell, this is about a female secret agent (I did write earlier that my story would always revolve around a heroine, right?) who has had some troubled past affecting her current and future decisions. And on the weekend just past, I kept having the strongest urge to write the most significant sections of this yet-to-be-named characters.

I am in two minds about pursuing another storyline. On one hand, I have read from interviews of some of my favourite authors, that working on multiple projects simultaneously keep them from having writer's block. Plus, first-hand experience has taught me that when I write something, anything substantial, other things fall into place; further sub-plots develop in my head; more inspirations appear in my mind.

On the other hand, I am very reluctant to add more to my plate; perhaps, was I an author full-time instead of sporadic, writing-frantically-in-my-spare-time writer, I could afford to do this. But... *shrug* I don't know... if I start working on the new, unnamed project, Michael & Lizzy will stall. And I know that at one stage, I will get so frustrated that I have two unfinished projects rather than one.

Decisions... decisions...
