I really annoy myself when I get into these writer's block slumps. I've been doing a horrible job trying to finish this thing I gotta finish like ASAP and instead of just writing the damn thing, I keep taking down notes from other sources when really, I could write the damn thing from my own point of view. I kinda know my "writing style" by now. First off, I can NEVER get anything writing related in on time. Steffy and B can attest to that. Heh. Secondly, I know it may look like procrastination, but I SWEAR it's...only half procrastination. I SWEAR while I look like I'm stalling for time, doing other silly things, my mind really IS processing what it's getting ready to write. The best thing for me to do most times is to read something. Usually when I read something, ideas start flowing out of me. The problem is, for this thing, I KEEP writing notes down, and everything is spread out in terms of ideas and crap. I have this analogy of needing to "fill my cup" with who the heck knows what, until the cup is over flowing and I have no other choice but to write everything down, and it all comes out flowing quite nicely. I suppose I'm still filling the cup. And the cup is a mess. It's about 9-10 pages of notes and quotes, when really, I could just do a 4-5 pager. I'm really frustrated right now. I just wish the cup would just overflow already and just flow. Argggh.
