I think i would concider myself as a writer, of course i have my bad days when writing something simple and it comes out as if a 5 years old wrote it, this happens a little to often for my liking but i move past it.
So, on to the blog, i have a simple problem, and that is, i can't stop thinking of new ideas, you may not see this as a problem, especially if i concider myself to be a writer, i mean new ideas are great, right? but not when i'm still working on the last one.
I guess i started my writing with film, screenplays, i spent maybe 4 years finishing my latest, and in that 4 year period i had near 30 new ideas for films, having that many ideas is a good thing, but it distracts me from the current one, which then slows down the progess of my writing, thats why it took 4 years to write one script, a script that has 114 pages to it, i did start a to rewrite it from page one 2 years back, but still, 4 years on one writing project is just to much, how am i supposed to write 30 more if it takes me 4 years to finish 1, i don't think i have 120 years to sit and write scripts.
Now, i'm trying to give myself reasons to write more often, i have 4 blogs here, the scripts and some short stories that i've been working on for the last year or so, but now i figure i can write a novel, yea i know, start small right, i started to plan out the characters and ease the plot into shape, its coming along nicely and at a good pace, well one i'm comfortible with anyway, but on the way into work today i was thinking about another novel i could write, it was an old script idea that i scrapped, but i think it could work as a book.
Where does it stop, no matter what i try to do, i'm always thinking about the next project, even before i've made suffient head way with the current one, i like all the new ideas, that seem to come at me only when i'm working on something else, but i sometimes wish they'd stop and let me finish, i write notes on the new ideas, then go back to the project i'm working on, but once i stop or try to sleep, the new idea kicks me in the head and will not leave me alone, its like a puppy that can see i'm not working and now whats some attention, i give it a tummy rub hoping that it'll be enough but it just wants more and when i try to sleep, it jumps up onto my lap and tries to lick my face.
I like being creative, but my creativity is starting to piss me off.
