Chaos

I have so many ideas and my mind is going in thirty different directions.  I want to write, we have already established that.  I also want to lose weight, be a better mother, and get another dog.  The book issue is the most difficult part for me.  Why?  Well I have been writing for quite some time; short stories, poems, essays, etc. I am currently working on an adult novel and I keep hitting so many roadblocks.  Character development is off or something and it’s getting on my nerves. I’m not connecting to my characters like I think I should and I am the damn author.  I would say it pains me to say this (but it doesn’t because this is going to need some more work….don’t judge me) but it would be in my best interest to shelve this book and revamp my writing strategy.  Some of my main characters are turning out to be more juvenile than I expected and I don’t like it.  I am going to write for both adults and young adults and I THINK I would like to start with YA. Not really sure, one thing I know for certain is the fact that I need to organize everything. I have notebooks everywhere and I feel lost without my outline information available.  Long sigh…and the saga continues…
