I’m on early riser duty this morning. When it comes to getting through holidays, it’s all about divide and conquer, especially when neither adult is good at mornings. So we take it in turns.
Two of us are writing stories this morning, except my device doesn’t have built-in music or “wow! Good job” type comments. But it goes to show that you can write when there’s lots of noise, requests to admire the other person’s efforts at half-minute intervals and the washing machine at full tilt…
For preference, I do like peace and quiet for writing. I haven’t taken to wearing headphones on my times in the office, although I’m thinking about it. The best scenario is writing on my own with the house to myself. Bliss.
But sometimes you just have to zone out the sound and get on with it. Another good discipline. It’s taking time to learn, but on that ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’ thing, making yourself keep going, despite distractions, is hopefully going to pay off.
But I’ll look over what I’ve written later, when I’m not competing with the Mystery Machine…
