Just looked through my first two posts. No writing, no business, huh!
I've been scribbling like a maniac for months --am even about to sign up for nanowrimo, mad as I am, in an attempt to push out more words on my novel. It should be easy for me now --2000 words a day -- a dawdle, surely?
I doubt it as I keep blowing up with mental exhaustion. The one thing that is true is that ideas beget ideas. The more ideas I have, the more I find.
This can obviously be a problem in itself. It can lead to total paralysis. Every time you start something, you have a feeling that another idea would be better, faster to do, more saleable. You name it, there are as many excuses for getting tied up in non-achieving tangles as hours in the day.
One thing at a time. Keep it tight. Finish it. Submit it. Move on.
Fast and furious is my new watch phrase for October.
Having said that, I have signed up for a writing course, a week-long writing conference and still have to phone round to get insurance for my car....
