Welcome to the Arid Zone - it's been a long, strange trip.

I'm thinking that I need to spend more time actually writing.

So in the spirit of that thought (and since I’m currently not working) I think I'm going to start writing at least four hours a day.

Currently it's about 2..maybe. I always find something else to do; weird you know? Heh...

In reading Stephen King’s On Writing (Which I recommend even if you don't read his work) Mr. King says to write 4 to 6 hours a day.

Well I've proved to myself I can write regularly; (although I'm aware I miss a day here or there on my blogs.) My next goal is to prove to myself I can write on a set schedule everyday.

I'm going to put the phone in the other room and listen to music; that way I won't hear it. I want no distractions...

Luckily I have no kids to watch anymore to blame my not writing on :-D However my family does tend to want to talk to me when I shut myself away. I'm just going to have to ignore them.

Yes I know other people can write, take care of a family, do nuclear arm talks, AND bake a cake... But I'm not like that. I tend to get hyper focused on whatever it is I'm writing and everything else just...disappears. So if I were in arms talks we'd probably be bombed while I'm engaged in the art of writing.

I can produce volumes of material when I write; my problem is sticking to it. I know I can I just get distracted easily.

Very easily.

But I'm changing Thank God. I really need to...
