Dilettante

My husband teased me the other day by calling me a dilettante when it comes to my writing. Like all jokes, it had a grain of truth in it. Actually, more than just a grain. In the past three months, I've gone from editing my memoir to finishing my mystery to polishing my YA novel and, finally, to writing a picture book.

I know that the rule is that you should write what you love to read. The truth is that I love to read everything! So this feeds into my writing anxiety -- am I doing the best thing by working on whatever it is I'm working on at the moment? Do I need to focus more? I suspect that the answer is "yes" to both questions.
