Something I just wanted to jot down for myself. I have problems deciding what my vision is for a story. I have this great idea in my head but then I sit down and start to write but my thoughts are scattered. Everywhere. And not focused in. I think that is the start of where I get into trouble. The second part of my issue is that I don't go over my plan before I write. I go astray from my original storyline and then I start to flounder.
This is one way I throw land mines in front of me. Because if i'm undecided I can't screw it up can I?
Secondary goal for this week. Throw everything away and start fresh. Start slow. And stick to the original plan. All those Marshall plan sheets I did. I still have them. And the story that is on those sheets is not the story I've written.
*Interesting*

Amen, but haven't we all, at one time or another, shot ourselves in the foot. I know I have. You realize it. Now get up and say it to yourself in the mirror every morning. Believe it or not, that helps.
I'm listening to your playlist. LOL!
LOL! I'm listening to the playlist this morning too! I'm trying to get my dd ready to go to her grandparents tomorrow. I'm going to throw all those old words away (just remove them from my computer--I never throw anything away. But I'm going to start fresh. I'm going to look at my outline. Make my decision. And stick. And write strictly from the plan. I realize that I'm an organic reader and some things are going to change but I think this is the way I must learn to write. I'm entirely too un-focused otherwise.
Grin.
I think I'll be happier as well.
Stop. Think. Choose words wisely. And write. My new motto.
