Worlds Collide…
Things I need to do vs things that get in the way. That’s what I am dealing with, over here. I need time and space and energy and a clear mind to write. I don’t have all of those elements, but I’m working on it. Dealing with some personal issues that I would love to exorcise with writing. Unforunately I think the writing will be more self involved and not fiction. But we will see.
I’d like to pull the short that I wanted to revamp and see if some ideas for turning it into a 3k -to 5k short story come to me. I feel like I am struggling unnecessarily with this? Why doesn’t this come easy? Why aren’t I overflowing with stories to tell? Why am I not just DYING to write, right now?

I'm trying not to focus on being published or world famous, but to be content to allow the words, ideas, meaning, hopes and dreams to flow from my fingertips and leave the world forever changed for having done so.

Writing requires a lot of emotional and mental energy. When we’re zapped of both, it’s no wonder writing sometimes comes hard. But I do think the extra effort is often worth it. I find writing so cathartic that I’d probably go even crazier if I wasn’t able to write during rough times. Hope things start looking up for you!

I find I have the opposite problem. I have plenty of ideas, but lack the willpower to stick to one till the bitter end. I guess it’s recognizing what we need to work on, and doing just that.
