Hello!
Not sure if this is an aspergers thing, but I thought I would ask.
I am trying to pursue a career as a freelance writer and journalist. Its a career that I really want, and it fits my skill set.
But I haven't been able to make much headway. Like, for more than a year I haven't published anything. I have good ideas, I have a mentor who has worked for years in the same area.
It's really a problem with motivation, trying to get my brain started. Sometimes it feels like my brain just isn't getting and kind of "traction" with the information, or the article that I'm trying to write. And I can't focus on things or get them finished on time.
Most of what people recommend is setting timetables. When I was struggling at University my mother wrote me out a timetable, so I could catch up with my assessments. Which I promptly lost. I struggle with setting up my own timetables.There's just too many variables, and it depends a lot on my mood, and whether my brain decides to play ball. And I've no idea how much time I might need for things.
It's frustrating, becuase I know that I have the intellignce to get stuff done. And I really do want to do it. It's just that it always seems to take so long. Or just doesn't happen at all.
Has any one else had any kind of problems like this? How did you deal with it?
