<p>Thank you. It really helps sometimes when I just take a break from writing from time to time and enjoy the life and everything in it which God has created&#8230; rather than obsessing over every little detail and getting chronically distracted and drained out by analyzing every detail into little, tiny boxes.</p>

<p>I also just wanted to note that I have looked up and researched the FiNi loop. I&#8217;ve only done a little research, but it revealed certain patterns that I could see in myself. So, I just want to say thank you for suggesting this source. 😀</p>

<p>Alright, I&#8217;ll be sure to check them out! 😀</p>
<p>When I&#8217;m caught up a FiNi loop, my brain alternates from manically exploring every nitty gritty detail of my surrounding environment (aka all the interesting stuff on my desk, all the different colors, shapes, and details of this stuff, all my fish tanks and all the motion and color inside&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-98199"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/98199/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Fi-Ni loop? I think I may have heard something like that before&#8230;  that would also explain why I feel the way I do, to an extent. What other interesting MBTI facts do you have, about anything in particular?</p>

<p>Hi there. Thank you. I appreciate your concern. But I <em>don&#8217;t</em> believe I have full-blown ADHD. About three years ago, I had to talk to this person (I think she was a psychologist or counselor; my memory is a little blurry) before I could work at this job, just for a checkup.

<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>I believe I tend to be the writer, who when they have too many ideas, try to jam too many ideas into one story. I&#8217;ve been getting better at cutting off and reducing excess language and unnecessary description, but somehow extra and unnecessary &#8220;story ideas&#8221; just leap out of my head and seep into the page on&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-98092"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/98092/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Do any of you writers ever feel like you have so many ideas running around in your head that your brain is all cluttered up and you can&#8217;t think clearly? Like, in the sense that you are almost obsessively-compulsive about turning all your ideas into stories before your head explodes&#8230;</p>

<p>Hey, nice blog there! Also, very cool dogs!</p>
<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/wordsmith/' rel="nofollow ugc">@wordsmith</a></p>
<p>In case you were curious, I&#8217;m still thinking about college. As I have researched more, I came to a realistic conclusion that animal photography better fit my natural strengths than, say, starting up a goldfish shop. However, in another sense, I would still have a business &#8211; it&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-95471"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/95471/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Well, that&#8217;s still really cool! I would like to own goldfish, but I already have a couple aquariums and have no more room for more fish. However, I am considering working at a pet shop. There will be plenty of fish there (aka goldfish) and other animals, from tarantulas and bearded dragons to hermit crabs and guinea pigs &#8211; oh, not to&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-95387"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/95387/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Ideally, yes, I would like to own a goldfish shop. But life doesn&#8217;t always go the way one might expect, so if that doesn&#8217;t work, I&#8217;ll try another approach.</p>

<p>I have just always been fascinated with animals, ever since I was kid. I&#8217;m not sure why, but the fact that I lived in the country probably helped, where I have access to nature 24 hours a day. I currently have two tropical aquariums, one with platies and Corydoras catfish and another with guppies, a golden mystery snail, and a sunset&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-95104"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/95104/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Well, it sounds very interesting. I&#8217;m writing my short story for February right now, and at one point, it seems almost dystopian/perhaps futuristic&#8230; but then again, there are knights (who have laser guns) and the MC is using robotic goldfish to spy on the corrupt Queen of Hearts.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/nuetrobolt/' rel="nofollow ugc">@nuetrobolt</a>, thanks. 😀</p>
<p>I hope this story doesn&#8217;t take too much more time until it&#8217;s done. It&#8217;s getting to the end.</p>
<p>And it really doesn&#8217;t seem this long, but&#8230; I just realized I&#8217;ve been writing this story for about a year. I started it sometime in January, 2019. And now it is 2020 already! I&#8217;ll try not drag the story out too long. Time passes&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-72739"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/72739/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sorry. Yesterday, I realized a mistake in one of the scenes in need of correction. When Zoe stabbed the vampire, I just realized that wasn&#8217;t the proper way to kill a vampire; you have to pierce its heart with a wooden stick. So, if you noticed that mistake or not, I will definitely edit that scene&#8230; so, just letting you know. Thanks.</p>

<p>Okay, the next chapter is written! I hope the character aren&#8217;t too melodramatic&#8230;. Feel free to critique! Thanks everyone.</p>
