My brain is getting overloaded.
The end of March beginning of April is always busy- not enough hours to do everything- and it's badly hit my writing this year.
Ideas for longer stories keep bubbling away in the background, but then they reach a point where there are enough aspects clear, so they come into my consciousness and interfere with whatever I'm working on - this time it's occurred with two different story ideas, each set in a different time period too...
I'd already gathered some of the random notes together on one of the stories, but now the creative part of my brain is throwing plot bunnies here and there- usually at a time I don't need them and can't deal with them...
I'd started reading the novella first draft and making notes, but can't do that properly while I'm dealing with the other characters and scenarios in my head wanting attention. I need to concentrate on my hero and heroine in this story, not get contamination from these other characters.
I haven't finished the final editing, on the two short stories I intended submitting, either!
Then there's my trip to Bath, I still haven't sorted that out.
Equally there are a lot of other bits and pieces that need sorting to stop chaos taking over life at home...
As it's now the two week Easter break for schools/colleges here, I'm going to take some time out and organise my trip to Bath, then tackle the short stories and get them out the way. Hopefully that will help a little.
Creativity can be as much a curse as a joy sometimes...
So how do you cope when your mind is buzzing with ideas?
