i have begun work on a play and am about 40 pages in (though still nowhere near finished), but i am suddenly haunted by a new idea that seems somehow even more vivid and well-formed than the one i've been working on. i made a commitment to finish my first play before i start anything else, and i've abandoned creative commitments too many times already to do it again this time. how can i get this new idea to stop distracting me from my original idea without forgetting it or losing momentum for it when it finally comes time to execute it?
just write it down. and in the future, try to find ways to complete projects quicker
