A Thought Professional Writing... Bookkeeping

Today, between the "day job" and spending some time with class related projects and activities, I spent some time thinking about a couple of projects that have been in various stages of development for quite some time.  While I want to start over, and pursue "clean copy" and ideas, I am still cycling back to a few of the ideas that have been hanging around for years - which tells me I need to write them so I can move on.

Besides that, while trying to think "in business terms", I started making a list of budgetary items, just as something to think about.  While "supplies" (paper reams and notepads, as well as toner, etc.) may not be needed quite yet (I already have plenty that I need to use up), it is something that I need to start thinking about so that I can be prepared when I start sending out projects (and selling them)...  Since I am hoping to be paid, starting the records will help with the write-offs, and will help with the tax process when the sales really start happening.

But I have to have things to send out, before I can get money for them, so back to the projects...

And a brief note about the projects... I've started keeping a running list of topic ideas - besides creative projects, I am looking at "academic" article ideas as a means of diversifying possible publishing credits.  Something that is useful to think about if I want to hang around academia for a while - teaching, etc.
