My enemy, my brain

As usual my brain may be the biggest detriment to my writig. It keeps switching wich story it's working on. I have 7 ideas so far, and each time I try and start on one I get only just into it and my brain seems to start working on one of the others. So then I stop and switch which one I'm working on, b ut then my brain mves on to yet another one. It's hard enough writing one story, much less trying to write several at the same time. Maybe I should write outlines for them first, that might help me to keep my head on one project at a time. Of course it's all going slow due to lack of time and energy. Between work and commitmnets and seeing friends and family I have very little time to invest in writing. Maybe I should jsut give up...,.

Great Old Ones

Lovecraft had created many great old ones in his writing as well as taking some from other writers of his day as well as mythology, and since then tons more have been added by the legion of writers who base stories on his work. Most have odd sounding, or even nearly impossible to pronounce names. Just for a kick I'm going to list as many as I can, along with any nicknames they may have. here goes:

Cthulhu
Azathoth (Blind Idiot God, Deamon Sultan)
Hastur (the Unspeakable, He who should not be named)
Shub-Niggurath ( Black Goat of the Woods with a 1000 young)
Ithaqua (Wind Walker, Windigo)
Atlatch-nacha (Spider god)

There's more of them, but thats all I can think of at this time. This doesn't include alien races invloved in the stories, nor ancient books. Damn theres so much involved in the mythos now it's kind of scary.
