Early this morning I indulged in a brainstorming session with Maisey, Jackie and Jane. *happy sigh. But now? Now I desperately want to start the story I told them about. I love, love, LOVE this initial phase where I have a super-shiny idea that could be amazing… IF I take the time to develop it, and IF I make all the right decisions along the way, and IF I can do it justice.
I’ve learned not to get ahead of myself and start scrawling stuff down (or typing 
) without giving it some serious thought first. But I really, really want to. Yes, I’m writing something else and it makes more sense to complete that first. But still…
And it gets worse. Or better, depending on your perspective. I’m excited about other stories, too. Ones I’ll get to enjoy as a reader, and don’t want to have to wait for. Everything is exciting and the forward momentum is great. It’s such a shame that all of these lovely, shiny story ideas have to take-a-number.
How do you cope with waiting to write/read something when most other things are instant and available at the push of a button? If you’re as impatient as I am then I hope what you’re waiting on arrives very shortly. 
Cheers,

Good question! I’m such a slow writer and reader that I’m used to the frustration of having to wait to write/read a shiny new book *woe is me*
I KNOW that you will do your new idea justice. You always do. I’m sure whichever approach you choose, you’ll develop the idea and really let it shine. If you happen to finish your WIP first, they new idea will be waiting there, gaining strength and purpose until its time comes
And there’s nothing to say you can’t plan the new idea while finishing the current story…x
Hi Madeline. I’m also a slow reader and writer, but enthusiasm (to get started) is very hard to curb. Maybe you’re right and I can sneakily plan the next story while I’m writing this one. I’ll try it and see then report back
Thank you so much for your continued support. And I have to admit that I “really” don’t want to wait for your book to come out. *tries to cultivate patience
