The fog of indecision

With Storm on the Cathe now "out there" and my attempts to format the text for paperback temporarily abandoned (at least until my medication kicks in and I come out of therapy!) I find myself a little stumped over what to do next.

I have ideas for Lydia and Elaine of course but my instinct is to take a break and let those ideas mature a bit before I start on them.  I also have a half-started Science Fiction thriller and another fantasy story floating around, plus a rediscovered children's first draft I should probably do something with.

I can't settle to any of them.  My brain refuses to set aside some so that I can concentrate on one fully.  It seems to be flitting all over the place in a most irritating manner.  It means when I do find time, or the inclination, to sit and write I can't focus and produce anything worthwhile.  It's not so much "Writer's Block" as "Writer's Overload".

Unless someone out there can give me any better advice the best I can do for now is to work on whichever seems best at the time and hope that at some point I will suddenly find the groove, so to speak, and set off purposefully down one track.  When that happens you can expect more coherent updates on this blog.
