Lost: One writer's ability to FOCUS

[vg_ford]

Also missing: same writer's ability to sit her butt down and actually write.

If found, please send to the ship The Scorned Lady. Her captain will thank you.

I can so sympathize with the lack of ability to focus. I've been having that problem myself for the last two weeks.

How have you been dealing with yours?

You mean besides whining? :p Seriously, I haven't been, which is REALLY bad. I'm trying to just sit and write. Even if it's (checks clock) 12:30 in the morning. I need to get my words in.

I used to have a schedule I followed. I need to get back into that. Maybe post it on the wall, so I know what I'm doing and then can mark off when I actually accomplish something.

How about you?

Well, I've done some whining too.

And, I've made myself plot on the days that I couldn't get anything else done. It WAS productive and it did help when I got down to getting the words on the paper.

This weekend, I guess I've been productive, but I just can't shake the horrible feeling that it ALL SUCKS!!!

The good part is that I'm not really letting it upset me like it did for a while.

I'm reminding myself that there are words there now, where there were not before, and that as long as there are words...

EVERYTHING CAN BE FIXED LATER.

The horrible part is that people are going to see this, so I'm embarrassed.

The Anchor will meet The Scorned Lady. The Captains shall meet. And we will war!!

Warring helped me grind the words out - thank you! :)

DUDE! WTF!

Someone must be going around stealing those, because mine are missing too!

*g*

I'm hoping today is a better day than yesterday. Cause, yanno, yesterday sucked.

Do you think it's the time of year, the change of seasons, or something, cause there seem to be an awful lot of us going through that right now?

[irysangel.livejournal.com]

Man, I sure hope so. I'd hate to think that I'd lose my writing-mojo for good. :)

Me too! And it's very possible it has to do with the reducing sunlight, colder days, etc.

My solution? Host a PartyLite party and buy tons of candles. :D
