I want to be crazy. I dream of being crazy. I'm not doing a very good job of it yet, but I am building to it. I just can't build to it by deciding to take little steps. I build by biting off way more than I can chew and failing by less each time to get it all done.
Whether it's going to work in the long run, I don't know. I still think I write best in spurts. I also think maybe I write better when I've had an idea gestating for a long time. "Blood Brother" is set in a world I thought of more than 2 years ago. I did some world building, in which I wrote a paragraph on how there was this one mad king in the past. Finally, I've started writing in it. I don't know that two-year waiting periods between getting an idea and actually acting on is going to work with trying to do those insane amounts of writing.
But I keep stumbling forward, pushing myself a bit more. I have so many stories I want to tell, and so little time to tell them. Never enough.
