Land of In-Between

In the land of in-between - isn't that some sort of YA book? Or if not, why not?
Yes, I finished the re-write of the novel, and yes there are more irons in the fire, gird in the loins and possibly some bats in the belfry.
What I mean is, I need to gather up the various half-novels (and novel ideas) and decide which one to dig into next. It is an odd in-between time. I have heard of those writers, who finish the last word of a novel, pull the paper from the typewriter cartridge and roll in another page, and start typing the next.
Okay, dating myself, and especially since all I've ever done on an actual typewriter is bang out random letters as hard as I could when I was a kid.
But you get the point.
Sifting through the pile of ideas can be rewarding, you find something that you've forgot about, and wondered why it was abandoned. Though, other times you know exactly why it was abandoned. But for now, I will sift. And plant some new seeds as well. I want to commit to a new project, having written two now, I know what that commitment looks like. If you're going to spend a couple year with some characters you better damn well like them.
Onward.
