After writing like a maniac for the past five days one would assume I am running out ideas. Instead the characters from my other unfinished novels, which happen to live in my head, are screaming for attention. Every one of them then has offered up a new peice to their own particualr story demanding they be heard. Slamming my head on the desk to quieten them doesn't help, I discovered to my detriment.

So if anyone sees a woman running down the street screaming as if the hounds of hell are on her heels be assured you are safe enough for it is only I the crazy lady from the hills.

Would someonemind loosening the buckles I think the straps on this lovely wrap around coat are a bit tight.......

I feel your pain, Jomiki!

My normal approach to writing is to work on whichever project is the most prominent in my mind at the time...deliberately working on one project and one project alone is suffocating! It's making me somewhat schizophrenic!

I think I found the solution, though; I drank enough coffee to completely fry my attention span, at which point it felt perfectly natural to hear voices and not be able to focus on anything for longer then a second. At that point a kind of chemically induced enlightenment overcame me and I broke on through to the other side!

So drink more coffee!
