The Many Goals Conundrum

What can I say, I have many goals with almost no plan on how to get there. Oh sure my "wing it" game is solid but it beginning to get a bit overwhelming. Maybe I'll chalk it up to getting older but my memory for all of my ideas is not what it use to be. I know there are a many great ideas lost to the void in my mind.


ADHD? Spectrum? OCD? Who knows, this day and age I feel everyone is part of some alphabet soup. But I don't use that as a reason for my scatterbrained method. A method that is showing its cracks, unfortunately. One moment I am all about a certain project, I hear something in the background that gives me an idea and I am off to create a new project leaving the current one hanging. Excited by the prospect of the new. How many new are there? About 7 projects that I somehow simulataneously work on. Mostly keeping ideas in my mind sometimes I use a notes app. I fear most of the best plot ideas have been erased by time. Meaning the morning after.


What is wrong with me? My concentration is easily broken but I cannot work in dead quiet spaces, drives me nuts. Then again loud spaces irritate me. The Goldie Locks problem is real. In a way, all of these unfinished projects eat at me, like the big bad wolf. Only slowly over time and with little pieces. What big teeth it has.


I had a glimmer of hope that I am capable of seeing a project through with Ascension. Completely finished with the sometime excitement of a few One Shot stories. I have 3 ideas but I haven't written anything down but it lingers in my mind. I have the ability, I think. But that is good enough for me.

What are my many?

  • Agent Dresco: Requiem Protocol

  • The Perturbable Adventures of Squirm & Squiggle

  • F.A.T.H.E.R. Chronicles of Mercy

  • The Yesterday Room

  • Following Emit

  • The Circle Child

  • One For the Road

Please for Grimley's sake don't come up with any more ideas until I finish half of these. I could use an assistant. I could use extra time. I could use funding. Hell I could use a beer.
