Quadruple-Minded Un-Focus

If there is one thing I struggle with when it comes to writing and completing tasks it is...well, it is completing tasks. Frequently, I don't, at least when it comes to writing.

I'm a flighty-muse-follower -- one day, I am totally wrapped up in bashing out a short story; the next, I want to brainstorm new freelancing ideas, when, low and behold, five minutes later, I remember that I need to make some more edits to my resume. That can make it a mite hard to get things finished. While I'd like to give myself points for constant activity, my actual productive output will lag if I follow this routine, rather than sticking to my weekly goals.

And right now, I feel even more pressure to get things published -- quickly! -- because I'm convinced there will be plenty of accomplished writers vying for the internships I want.

So, magazines, prepare to be inundated with my latest, greatest, almost-not-quite-finished works!
