My creation of new works varies from year to year. Inspiration and motivation are the determining factors. As I wrote in a previous post, inspiration comes from a variety of places, but the more I go looking for it, the more sonnet ideas pop into my head. I went looking for it this year because I was motivated to complete another book. Keeping in mind my writing is pretty much a part time thing, I typically write one or two a month, so 15 or 20 new ones is a normal year. In 2017, I wrote 31. That was the record until this year when I wrote 41. Most of these, along with about 50 written in prior years, will be included in my next book.
