Distractions in Writing.

[Judith]

Name one distraction.

Hum, okay, let's see...Oh, oh, I know, I know.

Having a hurricane come and knock on your door! That will definitely disrupt your creative muse as it's trying to compose a best selling novel! Yes, yes, that is definitely the thing!

Seriously, for two weeks in a row, I tried to finish up my current WIP and both times my plans were zonked by the forces of nature. First, Gustav, who made me leave my home and go to Arkansas, then came Ike. We stayed at home with that one but we were without electricity for a couple days.

Do I have to say that the creative juices just refused to flow? No, they stopped completely. So this week, I am hoping to finish up the little werewolf story I'm writing, send it off and then hope for the best! For the story and also that another storm doesn't come in anymore for the next ten years! I could use some less stressful summer and early fall months. I really can.

So everyone, please send me positive thoughts that I can focus enough to finish this story up! I need it!

So true, Eva! Grow and learn as we do!

Sometimes storms come from other issues such as family crisis or illness, so hang in there. Use these real or emotional storms as teaching moments for your writing.

Thanks, Linda! Yep, I could feel the heat with it, I sure could! LOL! I opened my windows to let some of the wind come in to cool the house and my floor got soaked from the humidity. Yuck! Not fun. Needless to say, I hurried up and closed my windows.

William, now that I think about it, I believe it was around the full moon! So what is the implications for that?

[Judith]

Oh, Terri, that's a great idea! Taking notes here! Thanks for visiting!

Take Heart, Hurricane season is all most over. Perhaps seeing and feeling the limitless power of nature might somehow be channeled into inspiration. Did the hurricane occur during a full moon?
