It's a bit of a joke to me how, when I'm not writing, I have no ideas that seem feasible or interesting, and I worry I've run out. Then when I am writing, a million other ideas come to me begging to be written! I've learned over the years that, for me personally, I *have* to finish one project before I start another, so it's helped to just know that it's not within my reach at the moment.
Also, I've made a law for myself: if I'm not excited and inspired about what I'm working on, it's probably not ready to be written. If I'm excited (even though I may be scared or feeling like the worst writer ever), then it's much easier to focus on NOW. That's not to say I only write when I'm "inspired," but inspiration doesn't mean execution of ideas, you know? I may have been inspired last week, and those ideas still need to be put on the page, even though today I don't have that spark.

But I ramble. ;D
