I don't know about you but I always thought of myself as organised. What does that mean? Well in terms of writing, I have a diary in which I keep dates accurate; my life is somewhat calendar driven; the house is tidy; I am already preparing for 2012 classes and to the observer I appear to have my life together! So why do I think I am not organised? I would have to say that it bothers me if I cannot get what writing I want to do down on the page. This happens often and I think it is because I find it difficult to shut out the world and get working! Clearly I can do it, but for the past two months that I have been on break, I would have to say that I have written about 3000 words of my novel. Not enough to be considered as such but I have been busy reading most of the time. I love to read, don't get me wrong, but it seems that what I proposed to achieve hasn't come to fruition.
Where do I go from here? Well I keep telling myself that I will write when no one is around to bother me, but that isn't happening and even if I make a date with myself to sit down at the computer and splurge words, that doesn't happen either. I would love the key to stifling the world because one: I would be praised for being the 'key holder' to silence and two (the most important): my book would be written!
So I guess that even if I do not get it down on paper soon, it will be there and when I finish studying I will I hope have more time to explore and write my book. They tell me that organisation is the key! Well where is this magical and elusive key!
I hope you are having better luck at silencing the world!
