Quiet writing

[primsong]

I seem to be severely handicapped, as I have a terrible time writing anything other than very light verse if I am being interrupted (Mom, when's dinner? Mom, I can't find my socks!), or even if I have others moving around me, playing music, talking. Or even if they are silent and polite, but looking over my shoulder at what I'm (trying to) write.

Arrrgh!

So little of my time is uninterrupted and quiet and alone that I finally resigned myself to getting up an extra hour early in the mornings just so I can try to write a little before I have to wake up the kids for school. Then I'm too sleepy and end up frittering it away on simple word games or email. Help....

How do you write? How do you lose yourself in your work when there are other things going on around you? My tales and verses are driving me crazy because they are so often having a slow death, unwritten, pressed into the dust of mundania.

I feel your pain! I used to love to write. I just don't have the time. I barely have time to shower! I do miss it, but I've not been doing it for so long, I'm not sure I'd know where to start! (((Hugs)))
