Inspiration and Concentration – time to play together nicely…

I’ll admit it – I’m a bit stuck right now with the story I’ve been working on. This past month has not been a productive one for me in the writing department.

Now I have to remind myself that I did just release a book, but I’m getting that antsy feeling to write. The problem is I’m also suffering from a lack of concentration. Normally I can sit down and write at night after my day job. Lately, that has not been so easy.

So I’m looking for some inspiration, but also I need to sit my bum in a chair and actually write for more than a few minutes. Any suggestions? I’ve been playing music softly to distract the voices in my head – not the voices of my characters, but the voices of all the other worries we all have right now.

But isn’t that the point of stories? To take us to another place. Heck, I’ve been escaping in other books my whole life, but especially this year. So now I need to escape in my own story.

Let’s see if I can find the right combination of inspiration and concentration to start that blinking cursor to stop mocking me.
