Every time I start a story a new story idea pops into my head. The new story idea will nag me to death, until I give the idea some attention. I have thousands of introductions to show for it. It has gotten so bad, I can barely look at a blank page without a torrent of inner-turmoil welling up to the surface--I want to scream. I think I may have ADD, or something. How do you keep focus?

I'm starting to really detest writers passing off what works best for them as absolute fact. A recent one, "You can't be a good writer without reading lots of poetry." Fortunately for me and my healthy writer's ego, I feel I do just fine without reading any poetry whatsoever. You articulated my thoughts on Zombieland, including the bit about the cameo.

Yes. I’m starting to really detest writers passing off what works best for them as absolute fact. A recent one, “You can’t be a good writer without reading lots of poetry.” Fortunately for me and my healthy writer’s ego, I feel I do just fine without reading any poetry whatsoever.
