Time to Write
I have just written a whole screed here tonight before I realized it was not in the comment box. Darn it. I'm a touch typist so I was merrily typing and chatting away but not looking at the screen. I am now.
I really do think I should write first thing in the morning when my mind is fresh and focussed or hopefully it is, if I've had a good night - not lain in bed there thinking up more plot then dropping off only to wake up with a character shouting ideas at me.
I start fresh, 9.00 a.m. the chapter is open in My documents, but then I pause, maybe I should just do a whistle stop tour of the writing and reading sites, just sign in and see what's happening. Won't take five minutes. It will get my brain going. I find loads of comments and reviews on them. Really interesting. When I look at the clock, half an hour has gone by.
So I poise my fingers on the keys determined now to start writing, and then pause thinking, well maybe I should just shoot over to Twitter. Lots of messages there, not to me again,but I should join in, should be seen to be interacting and sharing. When I get back forty-five minutes have gone.
Again I take a deep calm breath, my mind is still fresh, fingers poised above the keyboard. I suddenly remember I didn't check into Facebook. Well it won't take two mintues to check. I open it up to see another load of messages. Again not for me. Everyone seems to use my page to chat and give messages to each other so I join in. When I get back to my chapter, I look at the clock, it is now an hour and a half from when I started. Time for coffee. :))
