My mind can't make up its mind

[dragonimp]

Okay, my brain makes no sense sometimes. I've been trying to make edits on the latest chapter of Mother Arc for the last week or so without much luck. I've been in a discouraged bad mood since yesterday (over something unrelated) and knew I had little to no chance of making myself focus on the monster (I tried earlier in the day, but it was a no-go), but wanted to write something. Silver out because it's having more problems than Mother Arc. The other fic I'm currently working on is a liiiittle angstier than I want to deal with right now. So I did what any sane fanficcer would do and hopped over to the kink!meme.

So far it all follows a somewhat logical (for a writer) course. I snagged one of the prompts I've been eying, and went back over to Scrivener, opened up my One-shots folder and made a Scrivening. But then I happened to glance at the other editor window, where Mother Arc was still open ... and my brain decided that, actually, I want to work on that after all.

*headdesk* This would be great, except I was only going to write for 15-20 minutes and then go to bed, which isn't very helpful when one of my main concerns is the coherency of the chapter.

But yeah, looks like that's what I'm working on.

^^;; The mind truly can be cruel >.< I sooo know about this >.< I usually have at least four or five of my current stories open because I'm hopping from one to the other (it wasn't always like this T_T Why can't I write one straight story and only start the next after finishing? Did I break my brain this much? T_T), only for my mind to decide in the end that it wants to start working on something completely unrelated... And then, about halfway through that, it wants to go back to the others again, leaving another project open *sighs* (and of course, these things ALWAYS happen when you want to go to bed. Funnily, I have my best writing-fits when I'm overtired and ache for some sleep -.- It even shows in my writing. Apparently I over-think things when I'm awake, seeing that whenever I write something overtired or under stress(like at work XD >.>), I get it back from my betas (doesn't matter which one) nearly with no corrections at all. If I write wide awake... ... ... we won't talk about that >.> ^^;;)
*hugs you*
Good luck for finishing at a somewhat decent hour^^;; *crosses fingers*

I always hesitate to have too many things going at once for fear I won't finish something once it gets "hard" ^^; But oy, trying to force the mind to work on something that it does *not* want to work on...

*L* yeah, it seems I work better when I can't over-think things XD
