Just finished writing quite a few words for my sci-fi book. I haven’t written this much in quite a while. I’ve been fighting procrastination, and writing is hard work. I don’t want to make excuses, but daily life and work have affected my writing more than they probably should.

There’s been a full moon recently. Could that have something to do with feeling inspired enough to write again?

I also finished two websites in the last two days with full-on hyperfocus. It makes me wonder if there’s a pattern. If I do have ADD, I think that periods of intense hyperfocus can sometimes follow stretches where it’s hard to get motivated or accomplish much.

For the past few weeks—or maybe even months—I haven’t felt like I had the mental energy or focus to work on creative projects. But I remember experiencing a similar burst of hyperfocus back in March 2026 when I finished the first iteration of my website.

I’m curious whether there’s actually a pattern behind this or if it’s just coincidence. I think I’ll spend some time researching whether people with ADD experience natural cycles of lower and higher motivation or focus.
