New ideas create writers block

The most annoying thing I find about writing is mid-story, getting a new idea for another story and you can't get rid of it. You make notes for when you finish the WIP, but it doesn't go away. It grows and grows until you've got writers block with the story you are currently working on.

So you start on the new story, promising yourself you'll just write a couple of chapters to get it out of your system before returning to your WIP. Except when you look at your WIP and the notes you made, nothing makes sense. You can't remember where you were going with the plot.

The whole concept of left brain/right brain isn’t super solid but I think it’s the most accurate way to describe the difference between Arya and Sansa’s skill sets. I think with training either girl could be a politician or a warrior. I think they both could’ve survived if their roles were swapped. Both have demonstrated the ability to adapt.

Arya specializes in the concrete and logical, in immediate observations and perceptions, and intuitive reactions to those. Arya is quick on her toes and great at making on-the spot assessments and reacting appropriately. She’s extremely observant and perceptive and these things come very naturally to her. She’s great at learning language, but isn’t said to write poetry and doesn’t take marked interest in story or songs. Her focus is typically on her immediate environment and current situation. She doesn’t spend time ruminating or crafting distant future lives for herself. She is alert and attuned to the facts and the present.

Sansa is more abstract and artistic, focusing on the qualitative aspects of life, engaging in creative pursuits. She loves the romantic and fantastical and is more attuned to ideas and concepts than the facts of her immediate surroundings. She absorbs history and heraldry and has a knack for aesthetics and mastery of her native language (i.e., writing poetry and being an eloquent speaker. Learning new language is “left brain” whereas mastery of your native language is “right brain.”), but isn’t said to be very good at math and her romanticized lens inhibits her perception of fact at times. She has a vivid imagination and spends a lot of time ruminating on her past and conjuring fantasies of idealized futures, comparing her own life to familiar narratives instead of being 100% present in her surroundings.

Which isn’t to say these skill sets are mutually exclusive to the girls. Arya can be very creative (she is excellent with performing and getting into roles as a faceless man) and Sansa can be quick on her toes (like when she saved Dontos). These skill sets also are not opposites and the girls do not “complete” each other. Both are full complete people on their own who are learning to apply their natural strengths to navigate their worlds.

What’s interesting to me is that they’re both a little aimless right now for different reasons relating to what I described above. Arya is great at taking action but doesn’t have a vision of her ideal future (at least not that we’ve seen) so she doesn’t know where to go next. Her biggest desires are “go home” and “go to the wall to see Jon” but those aren’t options to her so she ends up a bit directionless, traveling across the ocean and becoming a faceless man because she has to do SOMETHING because she’s a doer, but doesn’t know what to do. Meanwhile Sansa has goals for her future of being a lady with a loving husband and a family, but she is not a doer and doesn’t know what steps to take to escape her current situation, so she goes along with Littlefinger’s plan. Arya has inertia but no direction and Sansa has direction but no inertia

Of course, for both girls, age and and trauma are factors in them going down the paths they’re on and I expect that we’ll see them both grow!

With her death, House Stark would disappear, none of her living siblings could bear children, the others dead. The only Stark left was in exile, nobody had heard from him for five years. Her throat constricted as the darkness enveloped her. "Wake up...." She was a stupid girl, who kept having the same seven stupid dreams, of escaping the monster who was Ramsey Bolton. Dreams of jumping off the battlements with Theon, finding Jon, fighting for their home and Westeros, first against the whitewalkers and then the Dragon Queen, all before she died alone. She thought they were dreams, until Ramsey told her Jon had become the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Were her dreams a version of the future? Was it set in stone? Could she change it? All Sansa had to do, was take Theon's hand and jump....
