Permission to stray, granted.

Permission not to finish, approved.

Permission to stop creating, proceed with caution.

I’m getting impatient with my WIP as the revisions and edits still aren’t done. Yet the ideas for the next book are starting to bubble over. Despite my desperation to complete, I’m planning on giving myself permission to stay this month to start outlining. Get it out of my head so I can return to the first book and finish.

I’m pro-art (Easier to understand than pro-create, right?) and anyone arting is doing it right.

It appears that you are looking over my shoulder. This is why I typically have several projects in the works at the same time. If I get stuck on one, I can hop to another, and yes, they are unique from each other. Sci-Fi, cooking, camping, business programming, and space related under normal lunacy. You are fine...…. Just keep repeating that till you start believing it. My best day ever, I sat and pounded out more than 10,000 words into a story. My worst day I barely wrote a single comprehensible sentence. Go watch SpongeBob, it has a way of resetting your brain. Afterall, SpongeBob require no brain, I mean thought, to watch.
