The biggest mistake I've made over the past year is: trying to work on ten projects all at once. It's so difficult to say no to a project that is new and exciting and WILL BE SO GREAT!
But the problem with dating around is that you never get the golden anniversary dinner. I've got a lot of great stuff 80% finished, but no final products and no money earned from writing.
So over the next year, I'm working on ONE thing at a time. I think it's going to do a lot for both my ability to meet my goals, and the quality of my work.
My proof is: by working on one story hardcore over the last few weeks, I've seen an improvement in both those things.
So my writing priority starting Jan. 1 is: my novel's third draft.
And, of course, researching the non-fiction. But that's not really writing, so it doesn't count, right?
