Words Are Knock-Knock-Knocking At My Door

Ahhhh!! I'm drowning in creative ideas and asphyxiating on a lack of time to pursue them! I've managed a little longhand writing on my novel. But I also have another article idea, I've been refreshed on two of my product ideas, my "For Dummies" book idea keeps tickling my brain. Plus I have confirmation from my photography collaborator on an article I hope to sell that she is closer to providing the photos. Speaking of new product ideas, I almost delved too deeply into my "future products" file folder this weekend. But I postponed that trip for now. I just don't have the time to get fired up on another project!! Oh yeah, I also started a journal last night as an exercise in writing as well as draining the brain.

I wonder how I am to prioritize things and actually accomplish something. I know praying is at the top of my list: praying for clarity of thought, or a succinct vision of what my next step is supposed to be. I should probably stop thinking about tools, like a cool fountain pen to write in a moleskine notebook, or visiting writing blogs where I learn of the romance of writing in moleskine* notebooks with cool fountain pens.

I really want to work on my novel, but I'm at a bit of a crossroads and I feel that focusing on other writings might give me a fresh perspective.

I know, I think I'll just start writing and see what happens. Bye!

*Here's a cool blog quote about moleskines appropos for obvious reasons:
Labeling Moleskines: Since I use three or four Moleskines at the same time, for different uses, I paint the rims of the pages with a highlighter. Just close the book, hold it tight, and run the thing through. Green is for my geocaching logbook, orange for my diary/planner, yellow for my profession, and blank for my personal use Moleskine. Can spot them a mile away.

The same blogger mentions my favorite (non-fountain) pen:
Pilot G-2 is the smoothest, darkest, silkiest pen around. Best for general use.

Now I'm really going to go write on my novel!
