Distractions!
Sep. 26th, 2021 06:11 pmI had the full intention of doing some writing last night and today. I guess technically I did so some, but much less than I had hoped and only on one project, not the three I had planned (and the least important one at that!).
I had good intentions. I thought out the basic outline of what I was going to write for two of the three projects, I even stated! then I decided to check if I had any comments or replies * POOF * three hours later and I have been in an internet rabbit hole and only have the two sentences I typed before I decided on doing that 'quick check'. Then today I couldn't settle. I have finished off the paragraph those two sentences belonged in BUT I then spent most of today's writing time checking to see if I had comments or replies, or just plain reading other people's work which threw me out of my own creative mode and style.
Maybe I need to do NaNoWriMo this year, or a form of it anyway. Give myself set goals. A month of only creating and not consuming!
