I'm not sure how many still read all my stuff. I know there's a couple who will read most of what I write, but I tend to change Boys or change genres, so it seems like every story I write has a different group of readers. I don't think I've felt reader pressure since the Welcome To My Heart days.

That's a good point Kelly. A lot of readers are very loyal to one genre. So of course you are going to get different readers for say Fan Friction than If We Were a Movie because they are completely opposite in genre. I can see how that can be hard because an author you have a strong fan base, but that fan base doesn't necessarily follow story to story because they might not be into everything you write. You really do cover the complete spectrum.
Having several projects at once is tough. I have a bad habit of doing that myself. It is a good idea to have one MAIN story and then maybe one or two side projects to work on when you're not feeling the main story. Anything more than that though gets overwhelming. And if you're like me you get a new idea, cannot get it out of your head, write the first two chapters or so and then post it on AC and never get back to it. I think maybe you should narrow your focus a bit for the time being.
Also look at everything you've written in like the past two years or so... A LOT! I thik churning out stories that fast would be enough to burn anyone out!
