selenicseasI’m sure most creatives have this problem: they’re constantly coming up with ideas and stories, but the vast majority of them have to go on the backburner because it’s only possible to work on so many things at one time. This definitely happens to me, but I’ve realized recently that it only seems to happen when I’m working on a creative project. Furthermore, it really likes to happen when I’m seriously busy with a project and can’t spare any extra time on other things.
In the past two weeks, I decided to ramp up work on the Selegesine’s Shadow outline and get it done in a timely manner. In that time, I’ve come up with a brand-new idea for a story and thought about multiple backburner stories. I’ve written down what I’ve thought of since I definitely know I won’t remember any of it later, but I don’t have the time to actually work on any of these stories.
Something I just realized when writing this blog post is that it also applies to…blog posts. I’ve been blogging a lot this month. This will be the seventh blog post I’ve written in March. Meanwhile, I struggled to write four posts a month in both January and February.
Do I like that I’m blogging more? Of course! I wanted to get back into blogging anyway, and the renewed inspiration has made it incredibly easy. But the sudden story inspiration is really something I could do without at the moment.
