I have to stop and think periodically though. Because I have thought so far ahead, I’ve forgotten what I was doing. XD

I think this is because I am an extremely creative person. As my mom puts it, I live in fantasy and visit reality (it’s scary there). My brain seems to function on a whole different wavelength then other people.

I actually wish I was less creative. Not a lot less, but maybe just a little less? It’s kind of lonely living in a world no one else can see or understand. Plus, there is the whole productivity issue. I’m a dreamer, not a do-er. I dream and dream of big projects and great ambitions, and, yet, nothing ever gets done.

This, quite frankly, sucks.

Instead, I have 50 or more novel ideas bouncing around in my head, driving me nuts. Do you know how hard it is to concentrate on one thing when you are simultaneously being bombarded with more and more ideas? There isn’t enough time in my day to write all my ideas. I’m not even sure I can find the time to do them all in my entire lifetime.

Recently, however, one particular story has stuck in my brain, and refused to be pushed aside by the bright, new, shiny ideas that flock up. I don’t know if that is just because I’m older and thus have learned more patience and perseverance, or if it’s because this particular story and characters are so inspiring. Perhaps a bit of both.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent. Great article! Very interesting topic. I will have to find some way to speed up my fingers and slow down my brain. Got any suggestions?
