Even if it just ends up being for your own artistic expression and creativity. I have a little book project I keep plugging away at, and now it is taking form and I like it!

The bills will always be there–they can wait! OTOH, it’s nice to keep getting a few bylines (and cash!) during those longer projects because you can start to lose your confidence as a writer. So get going with the elephant, but take a break every now and then to work on some of the shorter, faster things.
