Good Wednesday morning! It’s halfway to the weekend, so relax a little. You’ve got this.
As a writer, sometimes the stories fill my head and I can’t get them out fast enough. Some days it’s hard to focus on one story without the other stories trying to edge their way in. That’s my problem at the moment. I have so many stories running through my head that sometimes I think my head might explode.
The picture I have of my brain is a little hamster running on her wheel. Yep, that’s my brain for sure. So, how do I prioritize this craziness filling my head, I outline. I have so many stories pushing for first place in line, but only one or two can hold that spot at a time. To help with the breaking in line syndrome, I sit down and outline the fussiest, pushiest stories. At least that puts them at ease, for a time, but soon they are pushy again.
Now, don’t get me wrong, this is not a problem exactly. As a writer, this is a good problem to have, you just have to learn how to keep your stories in line, which is the hard part.
So, how do you wrangle the stories running rampant through your brain?

Wish I had that problem! Stories don’t run rampant through my brain. I get lots of ideas, but few of those ideas grow sturdy legs. Therefore, I say, don’t complain. Embrace the craziness!
LOL! I love the craziness. I’m with you in that some of my ideas go flop, but I try to incorporate those into the ones that stand tall and stay in the game 😉
