Gosh I feel like I am in therapy...I might as well flow with that:
Hi, my name is AngylBelle and I have a problem.
I do not know about others but I go on writing binges. I have this dilemma where I write and write and write and write for an entire day straight, not just because the juices are flowing but because I "lose the mood" quickly. If I don't finish writing in a certain period of time, the mood is gone and I completely lose interest in finishing my work. I have always had this problem, especially looking back on my early teens and regular essay assignments/homework given in school. If I didn't sit down and write from start to finish, it wouldn't get done, and believe it or not, those were my best pieces.
What have others done to overcome impatience? How do I train myself to re-focus so I can continue something previously started? It is to the point now where I dread beginning a new piece out of fear of not being able to finish it in one sitting because I know I will abandon it if I don't. So, rather than hyping up on caffeine for two days straight, what can I do to push myself out of my comfort zone, set an incomplete work aside and return to it later with the same pizzazz as before?
