I've been brainstorming, and I'm fascinated by the way this story is taking shape. It keeps changing form, flexible, not quite pinnned down. Some sort of oblong ghost-like creature, not fully visible yet. But I'm learning that's okay. Letting go of perfection is difficult. Change is also difficult. Allowing myself to change the characters and settings is completely foreign to me. I used to give up when I felt one aspect wasn't Perfect. But that never got me anywhere. I'm also allowing myself to flow freely. I have some guidelines and goals, but I don't beat myself up if I don't get much written for a few days. Although I do try to spend a little time everyday daydreaming about the story, and I make mental notes of what I want to change or add.
When I remove the pressure and perfection, I find that I'm much more productive. I wonder how else I could apply that to my life?
