I don’t know where my ideas come from, but they always strike me in the midst of the project I’m working on… especially when I should be focusing on said current project.

I’m on my tightest deadline to date. I imagine, when I’m a pro at this, I’ll better be able to deal with these tight deadlines (yes, you can stop laughing now). I have 60K+ to write in the next 2.5 months. I’m not sure how I’ll do it. I can’t imagine there will be much sleep as my deadline approaches.

While I should be solely focused on my current characters, and just getting their story down, I have other ideas bombarding me. I wonder if it’s my subconscious trying to procrastinate? I already have my next five books mapped out in my head… but then out of nowhere (actually, while I was having a sucky writing day) I get another story idea. Sigh…

What I need is a challenge. A public challenge, ’cause I’m a gal of my word. Who wants to do a word challenge with me? Or a page challenge? I must finish this book sooner than my deadline, because I do not write the cleanest of first drafts…. I wish I was better at vomiting out the first draft! But it’s just not my thing.
