On Fire With My Writing

Today has been a really busy day of writing.

I've written several articles, finished the first draft of a new ebook and written the sales page.

Phew! Not bad going for one day.

Working on the ebook also involved finding several hyperlinks for things I wanted to link to in the text. Things like that can really slow things down sometimes.

But none the less I cracked on and have been busy working away all day. I didn't intend to work all day, but the time just seemed to fly. One minute I was starting to write and the next thing I knew it was over an hour later yet it didn't seem that long at all. And that kept happening all day.

My Horoscope Was Spot On Today

I have an astrology app on my iPhone. I read my horoscope every day.

Usually what it says is far removed from my life and how I live it. So I mostly ignore it and give it my haughty snort of derision after every reading.

But this morning it was so spookily accurate that I had to sit up and take notice.

It was as though it knew what I'd been doing and what I was thinking.

Overcoming Distractions So That I Can Write

Distractions can sometimes be the hardest things to deal with when you want to sit down and write.

And they can come in many forms from ringing phones, nagging children, emails, Twitter alerts and more.

Or sometimes it can simply be a persistent thought that you really should be doing something else.

Whatever your own personal distractions in life are that keep you from writing, you're not alone. We all have them.

The difficult thing is to find a way to overcome them, and I'll tell you how I do it.
