Concentration
Imagine sitting at your desk writing. The room is quiet except for some soft jazz or classical musical playing the background. A large glass of iced tea nearby and your hand literally flying down the page or typing on the laptop when suddenly you hear this terrible pounding on the door demanding that it be opened to admit...the children. You know, it is really difficult to regain your concentration when the children somehow gain entrance to your sanctuary and insist on time to give you a play-by-play of their day.

Welcome back darling girl! You play with the kids because that's the type of person you are and then go back to writing, those novels are not going to right themselves!
ReplyDeleteI have experienced this so many times. Right when that perfect line is in my head I hear Mommmmmy! lol concentration gone. I finally worked something out with the kids where they get their time and then I let them know it's my time to write. So far it's worked out pretty good.
