Okay, I get bored easily so I do jump from story to story when I’m writing. Multiple projects can be fun but also a headache. I don’t know about you but in the past I would have so many projects I dabbled in that I never ‘completed’ any of them. Eventually as I matured as a writer and learned it’s more than just talent and inspiration- I was able to commit myself to writing and eventually began finishing projects. I try to focus on one project as much as possible but when I need a break, I don’t stop writing, I just focus another story or script. You know, change things up a bit.
I’ve also learned in this digital age, less is more. You’ll learn what I’m talking about over time if you keep tuned into this blog. For now let’s just say. I’ve stumbled across some ideas that I hope will definitely push my writing to a new level.
Anyway, I took a break from writing TXS and now I’m writing a short story. It’s working title is Wrong Turn @ Cedar Bluffs. I’m looking forward to submitting it to some contests or just having it as a free read for my website. The main thing is I needed a break from TXS and ER and editing P2L. Sometimes you write, rewrite, edit the same story you need a break, or at least I do. But in order to ‘keep writing’ I jot things down in my journal, this blog or write short stories.
What do you do to ‘keep’ you writing when you’re burnt out on ‘the writing’ aspect of a particular story? I love my stories. And I enjoy them, but sometimes I wish I could SKIP over the writing, rewriting and editing to a polished draft. LOL
