I have a very big problem. I started ICS in 2008 and I am falling behind on my course. I have read your first book on first aid to writers. It has helped me greatly but now I find that I cannot focus on my course and its now effecting a lot of other areas of my life. Ever since I started the course, one of the first things they want me to do is read books. Since I have started to read books in which I had gotten away from to reading if I’m lucky to one book a month. Now since the course in the three years of it I have read well over three hundred books of various titles. My reading has come back to me and I love it, now it seems the vast stories that I have acummilated in my head is at a stand still and I cannot focus on writing or typing them down. Am I loosing my control to write in favor to reading. Some of the other books you have listed do help but I can’t seem to sit down and write. Can you direct me out of this mess I have put myself in?
