This week was meant to be about composition. I’ve a general outline for a new project and was hoping to put words to paper. Not background words, not scene summaries or character profiles, but honest to goodness words that a reader might actually see.
Instead, brainstorming has generated a slew of ideas that simply will not work for this project. They are, however, perfect for three other projects at various stages of development. I fought it, tried to regain my focus…
Nothing doing.
So, I’ve surrendered to the cruel taskmistress that is my muse and am switching between three to four different Scrivener project files as ideas manifest. Here’s hoping the ideas go into the correct project file, else my Iraqi war veteran doctor might find herself marooned on an alien planet, which…hey, that’s not a bad idea.
Darn it, now I have five project files.
I ask you, is this any way to run a railroad?
