Just thinking out loud

I always find it interesting when I have a jumble of thoughts bouncing around in my head, but yet, can’t seem to grasp a hold of a single one enough to process it and move on.  For example, as I am now a few months within my wedding, I am constantly going through what still needs to be completed, what has been done but will need another look, and when I need to begin working on the next project.  I also am in the process of writing an extensive look at being a “radical Christian” (I’ll touch on that another time), and what are 5 simple ways to be effective for the kingdom that people may overlook.  This is interesting because very rarely do I have an extended thought on the same topic.  Usually I get on my soap box, say what I need to say, get off and put it away until the next subject crosses my path.  With this “project” I have gotten myself into, I am challenged to stay focused on this one topic without wandering too much.  But in the same fashion, I have to connect enough pieces of information, fact and opinion, in order to make it a length worth reading (10 pages just doesn’t seem to cut it, if you know what I mean).

And as I have all of this floating and colliding, I am kept up late trying to focus on at least one of them so that I might be able to write it down, get it out of my head so I can (hopefully) catch some shut-eye…restful sleep preferably.

Maybe in another 11 weeks…

  1. A thought that came across my mind… ‘Schedule’ some time each day to your project. You may even want to go so far as to schedule a certain amount of time for research then a certain amount of time for outline and writing.

    Others may have other suggestions but having a ‘task’ personality like mine, that is what I would do. :)

    Sounds like a very interesting project (book???). I look forward to critiquing the draft!

  2. well…I’d LIKE it to be a book, but I’m a little cautious of calling it that. As of right now, I don’t know what to call it except incomplete. I think it would probably be advisable to have some time scheduled for it each day (and that was my original intention, combined with getting a “set” number of pages done a day). Right now, I’m not sure where to research, or what angle to take…Mommy would say I;m thinking too much and to just write it down and edit it later.
