When you read a good writer, it feels like they have everything lined up in their head, all the themes and plotlines and character arcs, and they're just spooling it out for you in a controlled way to keep you hooked. For me that's the part I can't seem to do, keeping everything in my head so I can spool it out in an organized way. I can come up with characters and themes and ideas, and I have a mature perspective on the world, and I can feel things, but the mechanics of actually fucking writing just seem to elude me.
Can practice fix this? Anyone with adhd experience this and get past it?
speech-to-text your rambling then instead of writing time have editing time? those workflows might be different enough that your brain will take to one then the other
and you can always break out the string and pushpins if you have to.
I've actually never tried that. I guess I'm embarrassed to say stuff out loud. It seems worth a shot though.
