I have a bunch of working papers under review but no R&Rs yet. I have several new research projects going which I will likely finish by year-end. But if I don't get any hits out of the papers currently under review, then I probably won't pass midterm review. And if I get no hits, then it's not like I'm going to be able to get another academic position. I'll have to go to industry. What good will several new papers do me on my way to industry? Therefore, it seems like the logical course of action is just to use this year to prepare for a new career and/or to rest.
