I have tons of ideas, but have found I often have one with well developed plot, characters, and such...so that is the one I try to get an outline done on first and then write the snatches (chapters) of dialogue, description, etc as it comes to me. <br />If in this process a new idea comes along, I jot downt the idea and as much backstory comes at the time. <br />The more I focus on one story, the more ideas come for that particular novel. Just what I've found works for me. That way I get progress made on one novel while still capturing the ideas for new ones.<br />LoriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779610210151113003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603395821726298743.post-21154553782632782672010-07-29T10:06:17.456-04:002010-07-29T10:06:17.456-04:00Hey Lynda,

I will be taking care of my grandson full time. :O <br /><br />I will then be getting up at 4AM to get some work done before he is dropped off every morning. We have to do what we have to do! ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the readTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803316597494660595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603395821726298743.post-40928383312730663352010-07-28T14:22:04.032-04:002010-07-28T14:22:04.032-04:00Good to know I'm not the only one, Debbie. You...Good to know I'm not the only one, Debbie. You're right about everyone around us seeming to be writing and publishing. I'm happy for them, but only feel sorrier for myself. LoL. I've always loved that NIKE tagline. Too bad it's easier than it sounds. :-)Lynda Lee Schabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05827732317985384301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603395821726298743.post-56412819571818508472010-07-28T14:15:46.254-04:002010-07-28T14:15:46.254-04:00I completely echo this post!

(I think I posted something similar on my blog the other day). It's SO frustrating, I know. Meanwhile, it seems everyone around you is actually writing, finishing and publishing their books! UGGH! Hang in there, Lynda. That's all we can do.

However, I have to write every single day, without exception. Sometimes I'll steal very early morning hours. Other times I'm up past midnight, even though my eyes are half closed. I keep notebooks all over to jot down ideas on the spur of the moment, no matter where I am. Sometimes I write on backs of envelopes in the car, if my notebook somehow got left home. I guess, to use the old cliche, where there's a will, there's a way, when it comes to writing. Susan P.S. Sorry about the deleted message.
