How do you deal when you have a bunch of thoughts crowding in your head? I have so many things I want to write about, there are so many topics stuck in my head, like a tornado, and I'm itching to write, but there's so much I can't focus long enough to get anything down. It's making my skin crawl.

When I have a bunch of topics that I want to write about, I just write down a bulleted list of them in my writing notebook, in order by preference. So I put the topic I most want to write about at the top as number one, and the topic I least want to write about at the bottom as number 10, i.e.

Then I just slowly work my way through that list of topics, writing a poem about one topic and then crossing it off and moving on to another topic.

Best of luck! :)
