Writing Wednesday
Scatterbrains
How
many are working on one critical project, like edits, but something else keeps
bugging us, as a new idea? It is horrible. It has been hitting me really bad
recently. I know I need to finish my edits, but I keep getting these are ideas
in my head that are screaming at me. So, what do I do?
I
try like hell to make some notes and get back to what I need to be doing. But
it is challenging. It seriously drives me crazy, and it gets me sidetracked
badly. Sure, it is great to have a robust idea that makes you need to take
notes, but in the end, it hurts. I tell my brain always, I am on a deadline
here. It does not seem to care.
Is
there an answer to it? I know there are people locked in on that goal, and next
to nothing seems to make them deviate from that course. I also know there are
people worse than me out there. They get an idea and go ahead and write the
full book before they realize, damn it, I needed to do this other thing.
When
I sat down to write this, I looked, and countless blogs tell you how to lessen
the impact of the scatterbrain effect. I read a few, and some made sense, while
others made no sense. Let's face it, people are all over the place with ways to
help.
I
can typically just sit down and tell myself, "DO IT." That will work
for a few days, actually. Then, something will trigger a new idea, and I am off
into la-la land. We all have to fight ourselves and we all are different in how to do that.
