When you write, work on one project at a time. Keep a list of the other brilliant ideas that occur to you on paper in a drawer. Write a couple of lines to remind yourself later what you were thinking about.
But don't spend all you time on your book. Work for a set period of time each day, 15 minutes, an hour, two hours, from 4-6 PM, after the kids are in bed, before work, whatever. But do other stuff you enjoy too. You'll be a happier person and a better writer and your work will be better, too. It can work things out when you're not thinking about it.
All work and no play make Jack a mighty dull boy!
My goal here is to help writers achieve their dreams. How am I doing?
Entrepreneurship fuels my writing. For my ideas on entrepreneurship, go to www.hatman2.blogspot.com.
To get a piece of short fiction published, go to www.byandforwriters.blogspot.com. It's for short stories, poetry, creative non-fiction, novel excerpts, short scripts, short plays, or other creative writing. Publication is guaranteed upon payment of a modest fee.
Read my mystery, The Case of the Kearney Music School Murders (2007), for free at wwww.kearneymusicschoolmurders.blogspot.com or buy it from Amazon.com more cheaply than you can print it out.
For my ideas on buying or selling a house, go to www.yourstopforrealestate.blogspot.com.
