My Brain Is MUSH
I notice when I focus on one project and do a lot of work on it, my brain gets really tired. Add to it that I've been writing with children in the background and constant interruptions, I'm strained to the max.I'm glad I'm getting it done, however. I've been slacking off on my big projects lately. Some of it because my childcare went out the window for the summer and has been very inconsistent. Some of it is because I lost enthusiasm for the project I was working on and couldn't seem to shake it.
Now, getting into "Rough Seas" has been a blessing. The thing is, I think about it CONSTANTLY. Where am I going with this scene? How will I accomplish this? Oooooh, that's a great idea for that scene. Next thing I know, I'm back at the computer pounding away. The frustrating thing is that it feels as if my word count doesn't show my progress. Oh well.
My personal deadline is August 12th. That's the contest deadline is for two of the contests I'd like to enter. My hope is to be finished with "Rough Seas" or at least very close. I'm not sure it will be polished enough to be seen, but I figure I'll get good feedback.
Everything else is a little overwhelming right now. Life comes at us fast around here. So I just get in, shut up and hang on.
Question of the day? You get a great idea in the shower and as you're running dripping down the hall to the computer, and the phone rings. Do you let the machine get it and pound the idea out? Or does the idea slip away? I need a waterproof keyboard.
