One BIG challenge a writer faces is finding uninterrupted writing time. Those few precious hours when you can shut out the world and just write. A place where words flow and your brain is churning out the perfect story.
One way I found to get more on the paper (or word doc) is to schedule a block of time for writing. A time when the house is quieter, the family is busy with whatever and the animals have been fed and walked.
Ahhhh, that perfect world.
Can anyone tell me where to find it???
For those of you who believe in the WoooWooo, Aug 8th is the Lion's Gate Portal. A time when the sun in Leo aligns with the star Sirius and the constellation Orion.
It's a time when you can manifest the best things. The universe is ready for your requests.
So, I'm in that final edit. I have maybe 20 pages left and today, Aug 8th I was going to send that Query letter out into the Lion's Gate Portal! Yes! Let the planets align and bring positive energy to my work.
Great plan?
Maggie Mittens didn't think so.
I'm sitting on the couch with my laptop, papers and notes spread out all around me, and here comes murder Mittens. She puts that snout on the back of my laptop and flips it closed.
AAaahahaha! Open, check the save, did I lose anything?
"Go lay down, Maggie." She moves away, picks up her chew toy and I get back to work.
This is good, brain engaged, recaptured the zone, and words are starting to flow again.
Bam! Laptop lid closed! Who's little face is there?
Yeah, this one. -->
"Out? Wanna go out?" She looks at me and lies down.
Back to work...the vibe is still there... somewhere.
Here comes the cat. She thinks the keyboard is some kind of massage bed. Is it the heat from the keyboard? Or is she some kind of critic? And now? Wait! People are texting me.... So much for the Lion's Gate Portal. The frustration has me wanting to lock myself in the bathroom. (and don't think I'm so far from it!)
Tomorrow is the full moon. Any advice on that?
