Does anyone else feel like they suffer from writing A.D.D.? I love to read and I savor so many different kinds of books but this passion often undermines my writing. Every time I finish a good book and I set it down, I tend to want to write one just like it. I am working on a Young Adult book right now (really psyched about it) but as soon as I finish it I want to start something completely different. A romantic suspense, a women's fiction piece, a category romance. I want to do it all, but my business sense tells me that such a varying degree of interests, at least at the outset, is probably not the best way to build a career. I do have a few more YA ideas in the hopper, all with voices vying to be heard, so it's not as though I want to abandon those stories. I just wish there was more time in the day, more energy in my reserves, and more skills behind my craft so that I could write tighter and faster and evolve into the prolific writer I truly want to be.
I know if I stick to it, things will happen in their own time. For now, I need to keep up the good fight each day and hone that focus.
What about you guys? Any of you out there suffering from writing A.D.D.? Inquiring minds want to know!
