I’m vacillating again. Not
lactating (too old), not copulating (well maybe), not berating (I like almost
everyone), but stagnating in a sea of projects. I get enthused about one, it wanes
so I go onto another, it gets old and I’m off again. Like now, updating a post
when I should be working on my eBook of columns plus their force and fallout. I’m
into my third novel and still continue to query my two drawer-novels. (If I’m
still querying them I guess they’re not drawer-novels). Plus I have a deadline
for the column. Jeez, I wish I could retire so I could get something done.
The three most important words in
writing, focus, focus, focus.
I’m off to work soon and am
promising myself that tonight, after work, while the house is quite and my lids aren't propped open from exhaustion, I will pick one project and zero in. I promise.
Do you have to refocus your writing-lens often or are you spot on until 'the end'?
I had to take mini breaks from food blogging in this last two weeks for a couple of reasons. Lack of fresh groceries and just a general lack of being able to stay focused and on task. Happy to say I have three posts almost ready and will be working on number 4. FOCUS MY DEAR, FOCUS.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of food, oh guru of all things tasty and inexpensive,
Deletemy plate is too full. I keep munching a little here and a little there and always end up leaving something on my plate for the starving writers in China...hahaha.
Well, I thought it was funny.
Ugh...I find myself doing this too. Like my mind is jumping all over the place. I totally intend to do one thing and then find myself purposely doing everything else.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know why we do this. It's sort of like a writer's ADHD without the hyperactivity. For me it's AARP-WADD. Ha you're too young for the AARP part.
