Deviate Ideas, Word Counts, and the Mounting Pressure of Personal Expectation

I refuse to let me dissuade myself from finishing this book. No matter how enticing the story ideas I come up with sound.

I’ve started a notebook to keep track of ideas I have for other stories. Brief synapse, type of character, rough plotline… If I don’t write them down I have anxiety that I’m going to forget about them and cannot focus on what I’m actually supposed to be working on. If I do write them down, I want to be detailed so when I have time to revisit the concept, I’ll remember what I was thinking about.

Yesterday I noted, “Fern Gully, but adult horror, and gay. No fairies.”
