Day 43: Turn this Bastard Off

Sometimes I really wish I could just shut my brain off. You have no idea. This always happens to me. My brain runs at 90 miles per second. I never ever ever stop thinking and I jump topics CONSTANTLY. Allow me to enlighten you to what a typical minute with my mind is like:

 I'll start thinking about cats and then that will remind me of a youtube video about cats and then that will remind me of this youtube video I saw last night and that will remind me of my blog and that will remind me of my post last night which will remind me about how I don't care if my future children hear me swear which will make me think about kids which will make me think about Brendan which will make me think of that one thing he did that made me smile which will make me think of Max which will make me think of the fact that we still don't have enough pictures together which will make me think of the epic picture I took the other day on my phone which will make me wonder if I ever called that one school back which will make me think of HACC which will make me think of Spanish which will make me think of Mexico which will make me hungry because I will be thinking of Mexican food.

All in a minute. That's probably alot less topics than are typically covered in one minute actually.

I irritate the living SHIT out of myself.

Especially when I am writing a story and I start writing the entire book in my head and then I think of an EPIC scene for future in the book and guess what? then I can't concentrate enough to write the part I am at.

OR This happens:
I am writing a story and I get a new idea for ANOTHER story.

Everytime that happens, I cry because then I have a hard time writing the story that I am on. :( GAWD.

In case you were wondering, yes, my brain did this today and I really just wanted to pull it out of my head and give it a good shake and tell it to CALM THE HELL DOWN.

  1. I haaaate when that happens >_>

    I started writing bulleted stories to try to get away from dialogue... which failed epically later on. My story planning it fail.

    I also have an issue with the writing in the head... except it becomes "My mind already wrote this shit... now my hand refuses to rewrite the copy down for me. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT >_<"

    Or I figure out a GREAT idea on why the bad guy is doing whatever and when I go to write it down it fails.

    Also story ideas while driving make it difficult to remember later >_<
