No, I am not intending
to make light of any mental health issue. It's just that I think sometimes we
all feel a bit crazy for one reason or another, and right now mine seems to be
tied to my writing.
I told my mother and my
best girl friend in the last few days that I'm feeling a bit schizophrenic. My
brain is so occupied with the writing exercises, backstory writing and
development, rewriting of the first book, story line development for the second
and later books in the series, etc, that I feel like I'm having a hard time
keeping on task with anything. Especially things that are unrelated to writing.
How can I possibly expect to work through a spreadsheet analysis in a coherent
and rational manner while the creative part of my brain is going full-tilt to
develop names, ideas, and prose??
I'm guessing that this
is some glimmer of what it's going to continue to be like, as long as I create.
I feel this way when I'm working on sewing or crafting, too, especially where
those activities intersect with the practical, everyday mundanities. This
reminds me of the quote from Terence Blacker I came across on Pinterest, last
night.
As much as I'd love to
be a full-time housewife, if I have to do something else, it would be
oh-so-nice for that something else to be writing, rather than corporate
spreadsheet work. :)
Forgive my mad
ramblings.
