You know that feeling when you're hit with inspiration and you have a sudden download of ideas and momentum?
When I first started writing my fantasy novel, that's where I was.
The premise of a story that I had entertained years before suddenly began developing in my head. Not only that, it became a whole vibration and energy that I could feel in my body.
It truly felt like a story I was meant to write.
The more I wrote, the more the story developed, but it was difficult to keep track of the pieces as new ideas kept coming. And as time went on, my momentum waned and I was left feeling more overwhelmed than anything. I had burned myself out.
