I love to write, I've said it before and I'll probably say it again. I also love to read (fantastic fiction mostly) and I try to do both as often as possible. I also love to read about writing, how others do it and what works or doesn't work for them personally. I often find similar struggles in my own work, like fleshing out character, or the biggie, dialogue (shudder); though my biggest personal struggle would probably the combination between the constant flow of new ideas that spill out of my mind and the horrible lack of focus on what I'm currently working on. If I were to compare it to anything else I'd have to say it's strikingly similar to the dogs from Disney's UP (were I a dog and ideas squirells), though I think it may be worse in my case, I don't tend to come back to what I was doing until much later.
Does anyone else share a similar problem (or any other type)? If so, what do you do to overcome it?
