#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 25: How many works do you have in progress at a time?
Depending on how you count, anywhere from 1 to 45.
I assemble books from my translations of German folk tales, but I do not necessarily translate German folk tales "in order" for my books - quite frequently I will translate tales for my Patreon which might only show up in my books many years (or even decades...) later.
I have one book manuscript ("Old Goatfoot") which is complete but not polished.
I have enough tales for another book ("Magic in Theory and Malpractice"), but I have not yet started to assemble them into a manuscript.
I have 59 and 53 translated tales for the next two books ("Unnatural Taxonomies" and "Ride of the Damned").
And I have 41 further Trello boards with untranslated tales I have come across, each of which representing a further possible book.
Will I be able to do all these books before I die? Probably not, unless perhaps I manage to turn this into a full-time job some time before I reach retirement age. But I will keep at it.
