Never fear, when you're a writer, you'll always have more projects than you'll be able to finish. So make sure you aren't like Sheldon and have Compulsive Closure Syndrome. (Or, you could make darn sure to develop compulsive closure so that you'll go crazy finishing ALL your projects and even if you end up in a mental institution, at least your writing projects will be done! :)
This week has been full of family...stuff, which explains why I haven't written any posts for seven days. I get a vacation today, so now it's eight straight hours of writing while I try to catch up. But when you start to get sick of your own project, it's nice to take a break from the required project and refresh your mind with something else, like blogging! I also found my old Honors Thesis while cleaning out my mom's bookshelf-131 pages of my first novel! Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun reading it. I liked the characters and the tension in the scenes even though I wrote it ages ago. Imagine that! My sister said, "Amy, you really are a good writer. You have a smooth flow that I really like. The only problem is, you get so stuck in outlining that you never get around to the writing part." I guess she's right. I guess I need to forget about perfection more often and just let myself have fun. So...I think I want to finish that novel. Not that it will ever be published, but I like the characters and I want to see what happens to them. Maybe I'll do a Wattpad account--add that to the pile of other projects I've got in line and hope I won't turn out like Sheldon :)
