My brain is a traitor
Am I the only one? Is your brain a traitor to you?
My brain hates me. It fills itself with things that I can't possibly finish in one day or even one month. It thinks of amazing ideas and then trashes them in my sleep leaving me with overthinker and non-writer-downer remorse. It wants to read but at the same time it wants to write, organize the house, take on new projects, and storm about new ways to market.
My brain has an attention issue.
So I started being more diligent as a scribbler. I've always tried to keep lists and journals everywhere, but now it's getting a little overkill--which has brought my brain peace--finally. I bought a huge lot of journals from ebay. They might not be enough.
It sounds ridiculous, right? A writer who was failing at writing things down? That's like a cobbler who doesn't wear shoes or a plumber who actually pulls his pants up. Maybe it was shy of pure narcissism, thinking that I could remember everything because I'm that good. Or maybe I just thought that the idea was that good that I knew in my heart I'd never forget it.
Bull.shit.
The next morning you've got thinkers hangover and can remember what you dreamed about, what time your husband woke up to pee, and everything in between, but for the life of you, you can't remember the one thing you swore to yourself you wouldn't forget.
One day I'll learn.
Maybe.
I've also joined this magnetic group of authors and we are called Dynamis. We had a Google Hangout the other day. You can view it and poke fun at me in the comments. I kind of suck at videos. Also, I look like a goon.
