NOPE, you are definitely NOT ALONE! I've been coaching 'creatives' for 20 years. And, I see their struggles -- which are like mine -- with focus, distractions, and the like. IT IS the nature of the beast! I'm doing a workshop locally for the Alberta Romance Writers Association ... and 1 of my bits will be on the Personality of the Writer ... how who we are helps and hinders our creativity! Most writers, most designers (at least in my experience) have an Essential Style(TM) that I have christened "The Artist(TM)" The Artist(TM) is a big picture thinker whose brain focuses on the RIVER of information in which she swims. Some she takes in, sips, swallows and 'uses'. Other bits she spits out. But, all is about the information, the ideas external that 'fuel' the creative process. Imagine ALL that information to sip and taste and be stimulated, refreshed. No wonder then that we want more! But, ah sometimes it's too much and we drown! Thanks for the comment, Mel!

The rest - it described me perfectly! Oh my gosh.... I am not alone, there are other people whose minds are as scattered as mine. I don't know whether to rejoice in not being alone or sympathise with those who go through life all over the place! I am not bipolar, so that I can’t relate to. The rest – it described me perfectly!
