Although I'll definitely second Catherine Stine's additional pledge:
- "Write the specific stories I was born to write."
For me, that means Seven Thunders at the moment, but it includes Minor Contracts, which started out as my attempt to write a YA book (as far as that goal went, a wonderfully horrible failure), and Yoshimi, which I hope to find another publisher for, after the debacle that closed out last year (this was a more successful attempt at writing a more or less strictly YA story). I'm seriously thinking of self-publishing another book, but can't decide which one...
