I'm just wondering if anyone can relate.
I've realised that my problem with writing - my ONLY real problem with writing - is a psychological issue that negatively effects not only my writing but my entire life.
I scatter my energies too widely. I do too many different things incompletely. I start too many projects and move onto new ones too quickly, before I have done a thorough job of the last. I fall in love with a new idea and a new plan for what I want to do with myself and/or my life every other day.
Another problem I have is I ALWAYS want to go travelling!
My problem is I don't know how to NOT be like this. I feel like its an ingrained character trait that I have to continually work against. Disciplining myself to slow down and focus feels really unnatural, and yet that's what I have to do in order to not be my own worst enemy. All of this can make life feel very much a struggle.
I'm just wondering if anyone else deals with this issue and what techniques they have found to help.
