Writing time

<< < (2/2)

mare:
Today for instance I thought I was going to tackle the last chapter of A Million Little Things so as soon as I woke up, I opened word and it's been sitting open all afternoon and so far I haven't written one solitary word! *sigh* It takes me forever to get started!

I think I'm somewhere in the middle.. Usually it's about how much I have the story finished in my mind and then only an hour or so will do for me to get through a part.. if I start writing and then more ideas develop - which happens most of the time - then it can take up to a day to finish a part or something.

It also has a lot to do with motivation and inspiration, as well as how much I am able to give my focus on my writing. Sometimes, even though I have everything figured out and all I need is to sit down and type it out, I just can't seem to find the words to match or write down one decent sentence at all. It's kind of irritating because I have a short attention span and I think of millions of things when I'm doing one thing. If I have the whole weekend for the writing, I can go on and off writing all day which usually ends up with good results, like 6-7 pages. Then again sometimes I have those nights where I just need to get it all out and all I need is a couple of hours and I'm good to go. But most of the time I suffer from major lack of concentration and time during weeknights, my brain's being usually too damaged to write anything.

And it definitely takes A LOT of time for me to start. I can sit infront of my laptop and stare at the screen for a while, surf the net, talk on the phone, stare at a blank word .doc, sing, watch tv, cook and do all sorts of other irrelevant stuff with a blank word page in my mind. LOL. It's irritating. ::)
