As you may have noticed, I’ve been sporadic in writing lately.<\/p>\n
Nothing personal, Just that 1) I haven’t had all that much to say and 2) I’m having a really tough time focusing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After the 6th day in a row where I wasn’t able to sit down and write anything.<\/p>\n
I shredded a manuscript that I’d been working on, and that quite frankly I was sick and tired of looking at sitting on my desk<\/p>\n
No need to worry, the digital copy is safe, and there’s even another hard copy offsite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Literally every single time I’d sat down to do anything with the manuscript or it’s associated datafile I’d been interrupted.<\/p>\n
What little concentration I had was shattered usually for the rest of the day, so that even if I had the discipline to come back to the writing I wasn’t able to return to the frame of mind needed to put my thoughts on paper.<\/p>\n
Here I am in the quiet of the early morning trying to get my eyes to focus properly and voil\u00e0 I’m able to\u00a0\u00a0put thought to paper. It’s amazing what silence and a cup of coffee can do.<\/p>\n
The shredding of the manuscript was cathartic. I felt like I was at least making progress at something. Even if that progress was in the destruction of a burdensome brick of paper that no one in this household respected.<\/p>\n
Now I have several decisions to make.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nHow do I define that I absolutely need a boundary when I’m writing?<\/p>\n
Do I want to continue trying to finish a book or should I let it go?<\/p>\n
Do I have enough time and money to finish the first book before I absolutely must return to the hell of a thousand pricks called Corporate America?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I don’t have any answer to these questions yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I do know that either I must make a decision… or time passing will make that decision for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
