Great show! I don’t have ADHD, but I think we all suffer from a lack of motivation at some time or another. With writing, I tend to start working on another project, and that makes my original project “needy”, demanding my attention. It’s not foolproof, but it works a lot of the time. Other times I think the mind needs to wander in order to get other ideas.
Thanks, glad you liked it. lol yes, I love the neediness of one story when you shift attention.
