Blind hope

Every so often, a blizzard of work hits my desk. Between now and late October, it looks a lot like I have to:

1. write 165 pages of web copy for a site redev
2. write an ebook
3. rework a second edition of an ebook
4. tech (ha!) edit a print book
5. write a weekly column
6. keep two sites churning with brilliant and insightful content
7. write sales pages and emails for maybe three product launches
8. write another website
9. maybe write a suite of print collateral
10. maybe write another website
11. finish my secret side-project

WTF?

Also, if you're a writer in Melbourne who needs contract web work, I know of a few 5+ month contracts going this week. No kidding.

Given that item number one on that list is estimated to take 420 hours alone, how will I get it all done? Blind hope, my friend. Blind, ignorant, unjustified-ly optimistic hope.
