Hey Rose,

Honestly, I don't think that you are not constant about writing. I think that you are just not constant
If you'd choose something else than writing, you'd probably experience the same thing.

Maybe work a little bit on your self discipline would help?

If you are not motivated remember that motivation doesn't come before action. Action comes first, then motivation follows. (action -->motivation and not motivation --->action)

I say that because I am quite in the same boat. I kind of feel in the starting blocks since 3 months...It's gonna be time to really do something, even if it's small steps after small steps.

side note :

Another thing I just realized after reading what you all wrote is that maybe I shouldn't dismiss these scenes I'm spontaneously inventing all the time. I always think they're worthless and forget about them. It's like creating something and immediately throwing it in the nearest garbage can. Maybe I should write them all down? Maybe this would lead to something?
I read that writers always carry a note book with them precisely to write down these kind of ideas, dialogues etc just when they come. They say that they don't command their ideas, but rather that ideas come to them, by poping into their minds as kids would pop up to say hello.
