It’s not an elaborate dream.
Essentially it is just setting aside that time, making that commitment, treating writing like a real job. The only difference is that it is a job I LOVE. It sounds romantic, doesn’t it? But it’s all apart of creating the right environment and mindset to get the WORK done. And it is work. With so many thoughts and ideas flying around my head, it’s difficult to focus. It’s like the key room in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which I just recently reread. The room is full of flying keys, but Harry must capture that one key amongst thousands; focus and determination are needed, all the while all the other keys are out to get him.
Will my writing scenario ever become reality? How can I make it become a reality? Are these the musings of an unstressed mind? The one thing that shatters my dream is the sound of a phone ringing. As the day drags on and my energy level dissipates, there is even less motivation. I am a morning person, that is something I've known for a long time, but even mornings are getting more difficult. What happened to Saturday morning get-aways? Take a moment and goto one of your favorite websites and grab a blog entry. This is what I found.
