How frustrating is it that while you must be working on Neville Longbottom and the Heroic Journey, you have several hot ideas for new projects that hold themselves up as shiny and beautiful.

Hulk Hercules, far from drudge work, is also usurped by these gems from your subconscious, at least for now.

You know, as a writer who wants to work that you must write the things you are obligated to write first, and so you shall. But you’ve all talked about it before. The thing you think you want to write lures you away from the thing you thought you wanted to write some months ago.

I know this happens to you. What do you do about it?

ps I want no less than two new YA series and a whole bunch of short stories. I want!

What do you do about it?

I empty my brain into a one-page note about the new idea, save it for its own time, and get back to what I'm supposed to be doing.
