Does anyone else have this problem?

My biggest problem with my story lately is that because I have the whole thing planned out so well, I feel like my mind is aways one arc ahead of where I actually am working on. Like for instance, the part that I'm currently working on I was really looking forward to writing a few chapters ago, but now that I'm there I'm like Why was I so excited again? Now my mind is all gearing up to write the big climax of the story which is another few chapters away. I know a lot of writers like to write out of order when they feel like this, but I am extremely anal when it comes to everything being written in order except for very slight exceptions like I may write scenes in one chapter out of order. Just wondering if anyone else can relate to this? Its very frustrating!

Aww I have just about the opposite problem. I keep changing the general direction of my stories. I know where they should go when I start but as I start writing I find myself saying "oooh I think i'm going to do this instead" and then when I get even closer I change my mind again and find myself agonizing over what to do. lol

bananaaddict:
LOL  My problem is I know how I want my story to end, but I can't figure out how to get from where I am now to that point.  Everytime I try to write I just stare at the screen and try to think of different scenarios.  It sucks.

MellzBellz:
No UMS is pretty well planned out which is scary cuz most of my other stories aren't as well planned. Not saying that things don't change, but not enough to completely rework the plot. To make things worse I am totally in love with the ideas that I have for a sequel LOL

Mel, I TOTALLY know what you mean.  That's always what happens to me!!  Seriously, everything you posted, that is ME right now.  I've had the major events of BMS planned out to the end since I started writing it, and by the time I get to one major event, I'm already looking forward to writing the next big thing and don't enjoy writing it as much as I thought I would.  The part I'm at now, I've been looking forward to forever, and I just can't wait to get through it and on to the climax.  Ugh.  That's why I'm taking my time on it; I keep hoping I'll get a big burst of fresh inspiration.
