More than half a dozen book ideas and first chapters sit untouched in my computer and journal. Without giving myself time to sit and map out ideas, I just let them lie. Yet, they stick to my mind. Characters. Plots. Ideas. Plenty of beginnings. Even a few endings.
Each day passes so quickly. At work, I will find my self staring off, thinking about how long its been since I made time to sit and write -- usually an ache is attached to this. And I start to wonder if this desire to be a writer is just something I should to give up.
Of course I'm not going to, but I still can't help when the thoughts come.
So I figure I ought to record these thoughts, and maybe it will help me get going again. Maybe it will help me finally get going on these new book ideas.
(The idea with this series of posts is to reflect on things I'm not doing with the intention of taking time to, hopefully, start doing those things again.)
