A puzzling little blog still looking for its voice, but sometimes gets lost and has trouble finding its way.

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.
