There is every excuse not to write and usually not enough for writing. As imaginative folks, writers can make up new excuses that haven’t been used before.
My excuse this week was company. During the summer and the fall I never knew when unexpected company would drop in. The winter months usually make Ohioans go into hibernation or cocoon mode. It’s rare to see your neighbor – even in the city. Housekeeping gets a little sloppy.
The coming of spring, though, means it’s time to begin entertaining and having people over again. Hubby was in whirlwind mode. I was a little pokey about my half of the chores. Like a raccoon I get distracted by shiny objects (magazines, books, etc.) and it’s hard for me to stay focused on the task at hand.
Some writing did get done this week but not as much as I had planned. I’m keeping my writing appointment this week no matter what!
That sounds like me when I’m trying to write lyrics to my music. Why is it so hard to find the time to do what makes you so happy and something you feel so passionate about? 🙂 Then you’re burdened by the infamous “block” when you do have the time, because now the thoughts aren’t there. As I keep trying to make progress myself, I’ll think of this posting. No Excuses! 🙂
How do you get over writer’s block?
I just go out and do something physical like a long walk or gardening. If that doesn’t work then just sitting down and making myself write does the trick.
