I’ve never struggled so much with a story before, and it’s due to a variety of factors. I’m sure if I was writing this a decade or so ago I would not have the issues I’m having now because a decade ago I had more energy. While I have no shortage of ideas, the application of them takes more concentration than I can usually muster, and it’s frustrating AF. Thank god I take notes on things, because I literally forgot an explanation/story I wrote about a major religious belief that makes perfect sense for how people would see the world, and it’s like 🤦🏾♀️ wtf are you doing?? So I need to stop and reorganize…again. I need to figure out how OneNote and Scrivener are going to function in this story. I’ve been using Scrivener for notes and OneNote for checklists, but I think I need to define better parameters. I just hate feeling so unmoored, and I hate how I have to constantly reorganize. It’s like my methods prior aren’t good enough and shit just becomes chaotic again. I suppose I should expect the constant fight against entropy with the expectation that entropy will always win.
