Addled Brain, Muttled Ideas

Sometimes I wish writing was just about the ideas.  Those nuggets that you get in your head and make you think, "Hey, that would be a cool story." I feel that happens for me a lot these day.  Like to the point that if I write at my current pace (which is about a novel a year) I'll have work until I'm 124 years old.

Getting to that point, my only goal for my next novel is that I write it faster.  That's it.  No fancy language or character goals.  Just faster.  Although, most publishers think you should write about a novel every two years, but some authors produce as much as two novels within a year.  Different series of course.  Much more than that, and they expect you to use a pen name.  You know, Isaac Asimov wrote or edited something like 500 hundred novels in his lifetime.  It's pretty crazy.

This was going somewhere...started as a rant but it got away from me.
