I have two stories I am writing at the same time and my brain keeps building on other ones. Sometimes it's hard to have so much in there developing faster than I can write, but then sit to write and everybody tries to go quiet

Sometimes trying to get things in my imagination to slow down long enough to grab just one story to put it on paper can be quite difficult. All the stories try to play at once

Have you noticed it's the"cool" or "trendy" thing to be like.....take time for YOU. Love yourself. You are most important. If you don't take care of you, how can you help others. Don't be selfish for taking time to give yourself all you need......on and on they ramble, yet when you decide you need a break. You need to take a month or two away from work, or go down to part time so you have more time to work on your mental health and get back the person you once were, and get back to a productive member of society instead of a depressed sad little mouse afraid to leave their house! When you need that, there is no help. You can't do that on a whim or right when you need it, you got bills to pay! Nobody sticks out a hand to help you. Not employers, not healthcare, not government. You have to cope and hope that nobody hears you screaming inside. You find a vice to calm you, if even for a single moment. There is walking or running, arts and crafts, martial arts, puzzles, coloring....for me it's writing. I love to write. I love to pour thought and feeling onto the paper. I like to bleed ink onto white paper and see what comes of it. It helps my brain slow. It helps me think. So here I am, writing, and planning on posting, and praying and keeping fingers and toes crossed that I get "discovered" and published. I don't need mega stardom, just enough to get by, pay the bills and such, and continue to write more while I work on myself.
