A well-laid Torchwood is a happy Torchwood is a productive Torchwood! Is probably a competent Torchwood. I bet they, like, get shit done and don't get quite so many people killed.
it sounds like a pretty neat upside.
It really is. It's to do with the fact that people with ADD don't think linearly, so we make totally random connections that normal brains don't necessarily come up with. This is awesome for me in English classes, and really bad news in math and science. *g* Once in high school science, we were assigned to create an experiment to find some result or another. When I showed the teacher what I had come up with, I think it broke him. Looking back, it's very clear he was trying really hard not to say, "What the shit is this?" out loud.
Some people with ADD actually choose to go off their medication because they don't like how it stifles their creativity. (I went off it because my insurance ran out and I don't know how much difference it was making anyway, but whatever.) Plus, when people are encouraging me I pretty much don't shut up.
Writing things I am teaching myself now is pushing through a plot, because it is high fucking time I figured out how to do that, and the all-important fact that getting things down in the first draft is the priority. Getting them Just Right can be saved for later. And sometimes you gotta write the boring shit in order to get to the good shit. Plot set-up: zzzzz but so necessary.
