I don't know about you, but I try to have a structured life. Why? Because in high school and college I realized that I would forget things if I didn't list them out and plan on doing them. I got married to an ADD man and then had 3 ADD children. My need for structure increased dramatically.
Now that I'm writing my organized world is falling apart more than ever. I plan on writing another chapter of Dark Connections today. Yet, my heart isn't in it. Okay, I'll write a chapter of Leigh. Nope. My mind keeps going back to a story I haven't even written yet. It won't let it go.
What do I do? I write about the new story. I get a few chapters out. Only then will my creative side let it go and allow me to go back to other works.
The more I fight writing certain stories, the worse it gets. I'm slowly learning to write on what my muse says to write. Nothing else.
I once heard that you're not a true writer until you wake up only wanting to write. I'd like to add that you also have write whatever want's to flow from you and nothing else.
