December 2: Writing. What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?
Allow distractions to enter my day. Twitter, email, RSS feeds. I’ve had a goal for the past year to set aside the same amount of time every day for writing—even if I’m not in the mood, I want to sit down and have nothing else to do but write. And I was successful for about two weeks.
So can I eliminate all the distractions? Yes. Can I create a space and time for writing that is sacred and untouched by the nuances of each day? Yes. Can I commit to allowing myself the luxury of necessity of solitude for creation? Yes.
I am participating in reverb10, a reflection on the past year and a manifestation of what I want to create for 2011. Check it out if you’re interested in participating as well.
