So Much to Say!

One of the things I find really frustrating, is that I have so much I want to write about, and so many project ideas, sometimes I don't know where to start.

I constantly have new ideas, and ideas for my older ideas...

I'm passionate about so many things, and want to explore them through writing.

When will I ever find the time and energy for all these projects?

I have a novel that needs a lot of editing, that I want to finish to standard, and send off. It's a rites of passage novel, about drug addiction and it's repercussions.

I also have rough outlines, I want to turn into clear detailed coherent outlines for 4 books, that have themes of soldiers, Afghanistan and the many ways that impacts all individuals involved.

I also have limited time per day that I can concentrate mentally and get any work done.

Then there's short stories to adapt, finish and prepare for sending off...

All around me there are stories and inspiration, things that matter, things I want to explore.

I feel frustrated by my own limitations.  Yes frustrated.

I want to do so much!

Don't we all.

I guess I will just make a start and do what I can today.

Oh, and I found the first novel I ever wrote yesterday.  It's dated, but there's some really juicy stuff in there and I had a idea of how to re write it.  I even had a new title for it, and into my head last night popped the theme. It was exciting, and I thought;

      I need about 10 lives all happening at once so I can do all these projects!

I guess I need to decide what's burning the most.  What project is the kid in the class with it's hand up, bursting, and yelling, "Pick me!"

Perhaps a little 'cultivating patience' is required too. (Smile).
