Writer’s Crossroads

I’ve never had writer’s block. My mind is a constant engine running at full speed, churning out about 50 ideas at once. The problem isn’t coming up with something to write, but it’s deciding which thing deserves my focus.

That’s where I get stuck: the Writer’s Crossroads. I can see multiple paths ahead, each brimming with possibility. If I pick one, I worry I’ll lose the chance to explore the others. And even when I commit, my eyes keep darting to another road, one that suddenly looks shinier or more promising.

Part of this is ADHD. Part of it is autism—where I convince myself I didn’t start a piece “the right way,” or that I’m not writing it exactly as I should. 

It’s a blessing and a curse: a blessing because I get genuinely thrilled by so many different sparks of inspiration, but a curse because indecision eats away at the time I could actually be writing. Too often, the crossroads leave me standing still.

My hope for this site is that it becomes a place where I don’t need to wait for the “perfect” choice. A place where messy drafts, wild half-formed ideas, and rough experiments can live alongside polished essays. Not everything has to be complete to be worth sharing.
