I'm discovering that one of the best motivators to finish up a lagging WIP and limit your blogging time is to get a sparkly new idea that you are obsessed with interested in completing in a timely fashion. This has been a unique start to a project for me in that I feel like I am watching a movie unfold in my brain, complete with gasps, jaw drops, and "oh-no-she-didn't"s.
Pulling it off will be something else entirely.
But first I have to whip my current WIP into shape.
Good luck! I have this problem too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wish I was one of those people who just calmly wrote her 1,000 words a day rain or shine. Nope, I'm a spurter.
ReplyDeleteAt least I've learned I can't be both a spurter and a pantser. I have to plan and outline or it's a bust.
I love fresh, new ideas! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new shiny idea. I love those. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, love it when that happens! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blast from the past was that video! Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDeleteI love holding off my new ideas until I finally finish revisions--assuming that actually happens! :)
Abby, Elana, Terry Lynn--Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHeather--Thanks for commenting! Yeah, I think I showed my age card there. :)
I love those old Sesame Street clips! Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteHoorah for shiny new ideas! And good for you for wanting to finish up the WIP first. I think a lot of writers fall into the trap of having loads of unfinished projects...
