Cobwebs somewhat cleared

Getting into some writing has cleared out the dusty recesses. There is a lot to sort out. I remind myself to stay disciplined and prioritize. Keeping the path — especially the next step — clear is one way to maintain crispy clarity as you scratch away. Watch yourself.

At times, ideas for projects will flood your brain. Unexpectedly, they will jump out at you, trying to gain attention. They must immediately be set aside, or they will clog your thinking as you dream about playing with the shiny new toy. Don’t say to yourself, “I’ll do it later.” and hope you will remember. It will turn to mist in minutes. No. File it quickly into a system with enough detail that when you want to start on something new, it will be there, waiting quietly. Masterpiece in safe hands.

How do you control the rumble of new projects as they seek attention? How do you keep your head clear for your current work? Please let us know in the comments below.

Happy writing.
