I've started writing again and am working on a sci-fi series but I really can't seem to complete anything. I will create boundaries and try to limit myself but somehow end up blowing past them. It's not really a problem with verbosity or perfectionism, or anything else negative, because it has really helped to add depth to the universe I'm creating. Everything I've written has a place and a purpose, as well as flows nicely. I'm happy with the work but can't stop expanding on everything. One idea leads to another and what started out as an opening paragraph has instead become a small book itself. It's just getting out of control on the level of sheer quantity and moves the finish line further and further away, which has become a bit discouraging.

I may actually take this up as a way to practice implementing and respecting limits. I have several other ideas that I haven't really gotten into because of the focus on my passion project. I'm not as invested in them, so maybe putting that on the back burner to crank one of those out will help. I wrote out a good chunk of my next favorite story on a whim while I was holed up in a hospital with a relative, so I think I could probably get one of the other ones done in a month. Funny how the less I care about the work the better I am at getting it done lol.

Does that make any sense? It's late and I'm tired, so I may be rambling lol.
