Too Much To Say

Generally speaking, I try to come up with ideas for a new  post at  least a day or two before I am scheduled to update.  Sometimes, I have the idea weeks in advance, especially when I have a very good topic or a gimmick I want to add.  At other times, such as today, I don't really have anything planned.  I usually have everything mapped out in my head and ready to be typed by the time I get to the computer on Wednesday, but sometimes things get jumbled in my head, and I forget the exact wording that I had planned out.  For instance, I had forgotten to include labels for last week's post and had to add some to update it before I started on this week's post.  That type of thing happens a lot to me when I write.  I think it is due to the fact that I don't like to write many of my ideas down until they are ready.  I don't really believe in making a first draft of anything; I just think it up until time.  This means that I usually have dozens of ideas rushing around my head at any given moment.  For some of my most important writings, I would make at least one draft beforehand, just so I can see things out.  For short works like this, it isn't worth the paper to just make another copy.  Yes, this means that I don't like to change things that much once they are on the page.  For this blog, it works out alright.  For more important things, though, I would create multiple drafts, just to make sure that I am not leaving anything our.  It has frequently been my style for writing all my life.  The main part of it occurs in my head; the actual putting words down is almost an afterthought.  My people might not like the process I take, but it has worked out for me.  Because of this, I don't really get along with others sometimes.  For many people I have dealt with, this ease annoys them.  Sometimes, it can even infuriate.  That isn't that much of an exaggeration either.  I know that I am different this way, but I can't help but writing my own way.  Considering that I have decided to become a professional writer, of some type, this my be a benefit or a problem.  I believe I am now wondering through my own thoughts now, probably to the point where I am no longer making sense.  This happens to me quite often.  It is all because of my writing style again.  I am amazed it doesn't occur more often.  I better stop now before I lose myself completely in my work.
