Last week I moved out into the country. A brand new trailer. I now have my own office. I should be happy, excited and ready to write. I am overwhelmed.
I have a lot of stuff. The last place I lived, I lived for 15 years. I wrote a lot in long hand. I saved everything I wrote in longhand and that I typed. Magazines, newspapers and scribbled notes. I saved them all.
I was unpacking and putting things in the closet that I wanted to keep. The closet is filled. I looked around and had no place to put any of the things I am currently working on. I still have no room.
I am a Hoarder.
I am overwhelmed.
When I met my boyfriend fifteen years ago. He helped me overcome my hoarding problem then. I threw a lot of things away, but kept a lot and over the fifteen years, I have collected a more.
I want this time to be different. I want a nice place to live. A place to write, where I can find what I need.
Am I crazy or do other writer's save everything they write?
If you save everything you write, where do you keep it all?
My boyfriend is out burning my writing as I write this.
Leave a comment, let me know what you do with all the things that you collect for your writing, like research, future ideas and notes jotted down.
