Interruptions. They come in all shapes and sizes. They cut in to our artistic time and thoughts. How do we deal with them? Sometimes interruptions come and one has to set aside what one is doing to deal with them. For instance, even though my girlfriend is on a deadline in the middle of a book, her mother took ill and she has spent the last four days at the hospital. She emailed me the other day and told me ideas were coming fast and furious and she couldn't wait to get back to the keyboard.
For me, interruptions come in the form of my own doctor's appointment, house cleaning, taxes figured, grocery shopping, and family obligations too numerous to mention. How do I deal with them? By doing what I can on those busy and full days. If all I get done is 2500 words this week instead of 5000, that will have to do. Next week I can get back to my 5000, plus everything else I should be doing in regards to my writing.
It's not a perfect world, but I have decided to be like a willow, be flexible. I get frustrated, but have to trust that in the end, someone larger than me has it all in control and things will work out.
How about you? Are you dealing?
Til Tomorrow~
