I love to write, talk and articulate. My childhood & life has been filled with so many rich and diverse experiences. Sometimes it seems that writing is the only way to find peace with it all. I am committing to taking steps towards this goal each and every day.
I have this list I keep when I have good ideas for scenes, or just plots. I’ve sat down on some of these ideas and I start writing. I’ll get like 15-20 pages in, but never go back and finish.
I have a couple screenplays I’ve started like that, and 4 book ideas. I have terrible motivation, so they just sit there forever incomplete. My goal is to take at least one of them to completion.

I’ve been writing since I was a 3rd grader. I love writing. I used to have people around me said that I had great imagination. I started writing long stories when I was in 7th grade. Ideas were pouring out, but somehow I just cannot put them on paper, or at least finished them. There’s one story that I’ve written over and over again since I was in 7th grade. I wanted to finish it! It’s been 7 years now! For now, I’ve got at least 5 stories that need to be finished. I’m starting now. Today! THis is it! I NEED to do IT. So God help me.

This is actually a curriculum that I’ve been working on for ages, and I’ve got a deadline. I think the problem is that I’m just not motivated to do it; I’ve kind of list interest, and I am zapped of energy from all of the other plates I have spinning. The problem is, I’ve committed to this, I need to get it done, and people are counting on me! So, I am going to finish this thing! Starting tonight, I’m working on it!
It’s been a while, and several hundred ideas. It’s about time I finish something meaningful.
I have tried so many times to do this. One day I will get a genius idea for a book. With characters, settings, plot lines, the whole shebang. I will be so pumped up about it that I will end up staying awake all night typing on my laptop. Sometimes I will write two pages and get bored with it or write forty pages and get bored. For all thirty word documents, all various lengths, I have on my laptop none are even close to being finished. So hopefully this year I will be able to actually finish writing a book.

...from the mini-library at my parents’. (“Mini-library” just means it doesn’t contain more than several hundred books, a.k.a. only takes up three or four bookcases. That’s a reasonable definition, isn’t it? Anyway, it seems reasonable to my brain … It’s not like it’s the size of the public library, or even takes up an entire room. ;)) Writing books often get my brain going back on the right tracks, which happened only a couple of pages past the foreword to Christopher Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey. I always seem to think of The Novel when I brainstorm randomly (that is, the first one I started, although there are others to work on, too, so it isn’t really THE novel in the singular sense ;)), and this time is no exception.
I’ve been thinking of plotting a personal NoWriMo soon. One good NoWriMo and this thing will probably be finished; and once I have momentum built up, I won’t necessarily need the NoWriMo motivation to finish.
New brainstorming is good. :D
