I've been doing some more plotting this week, getting more of my ideas out of my head and into some format. It's helpful to me, but doesn't provide a whole lot to talk about, sadly.
I would like to express my frustration at being so easily distracted though. I'm at a place in life where I have to schedule time to write, usually a couple of hours at the end of the night, when I would normally be sleeping. I relish the time I spend putting things in order because it gives me such a sense of accomplishment. However, I find that I'm often pulled away from the task at hand. The cat makes an SRD (sudden, random dash), or Facebook quietly calls to me, or an otherwise uninteresting infomercial is suddenly captivating. And just like that, time is gone.
I have a workspace that is quiet where I could tune out most of the world's white noise, but it's a total disaster at the moment, and it's going to be a big job to get it back to fully functional. Anyone have any tricks they use to maximize their writing time, or at least stay focused?
