    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Mine (when I took them) just helped me focus on sleeping in class. :blob_sleep: That is relatable. Speaking of which, I'm feeling a bit peckish. Thank you for sharing your experience and bringing food up. Time for me to hunt snacks. :blob_cookie:

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Thank you for revealing that about yourself. I've taken some thought on what you said and I am stepping over a line talking about this. I am slightly concerned, just slightly, about whatever meds those are. I'll explain. Now I don't know the specific kind of meds you're taking, but I do want to...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Miracles do often times happen, but I believe there is a limit. I have tried focusing before and that was still a not fun experience. Though I'm happy to see that you can work through the distractions. Just be sure to not make it all work. It's a sweet change to play with our stories. :blob_cookie:

    Too true. I waited until the feeling passed before talking any further. Now I'm far more coherent, but I'm also ready for bed. :sweat_smile:

    Advice on how to make good side characters and is having the MC turn out to be a spy for the opposing side a good idea?

    You could always base them off of people you know. It's the same way as displaying a character's experience in a situation, if you know that experience personally then that'll become that much more real towards your readers. The same method can be applied to characters.

    I'm sorry. I should've and I didn't. I don't make excuses, so I'll send a hello towards you now...

    I'm sorry. I should've and I didn't. I don't make excuses, so I'll send a hello towards you now and ask for forgiveness in the same wave. Hello! Please forgive me for my lack of etiquette. I'll promise to display a better performance when I next react towards your comments (I'm drowned in...

    Novel

    That was kind of you to bring awareness towards this author and their story. Although, after looking at their profile, I would like to suggest giving them some space and time to manage their current affairs. I don't know what is happening in their life, but I do know that tending to their life...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Ah, those websites are definitely distracting for me. :sweat_smile: That is an interesting idea to use speech-to-text. I'll have to play with one of the free programs and see how well it works (I'm concerned about its grammar though). Thank you both for sharing your painful experiences. I'll...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    That is a very good suggestion and I have been doing just that for awhile now. I've only written half-heartedly and those stories are not exactly the best I can accomplish. I believe that is what I reached out here to see if there was something else I could other than wait. :blob_sweat: Aww. I...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    That is a well thought out idea and good practice to have for any writer. From my perspective, I see your method as writing a first draft and returning to make corrections while fleshing out the details. But, yes, I do worry about how it looks a little bit too much and try too hard to write...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Very good point. I'll certainly ask about that one when I next pay a doctor a visit.

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    I understand and... And this is why I preach to a lot of writers to stop pushing themselves and prioritize their health first. I have been checked out before and received no alarm bells, but I also know how unreliable one diagnosis can be (let alone six specialists). When I have a better...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    That is sort of what I've been doing; just enduring before the pain becomes too much.

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    That sounds about right (concerning limitations) and your current record is impressive. :blobthumbsup: I'll see if I can get in some of those short bursts too. Any words is progress, I suppose. I'll ask about it. If I get it prescribed, I'll go for it. Very true and thank you again...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Thank you for responding and sharing your experiences. I can fully believe you and how an environment such as that will interrupt any coherent thought. I suppose there are ways to tune it out, but I don't know the full story and those methods could be inadvisable in that environment as well (I...

    Writing How to write when distracted?

    Hello! I have a question for all of you authors: how do you write when distractions are unavoidable? As an example: I'm in pain. I can't read, let alone write, without experiencing pain (migraines). I do take medication for it, but they also cause me drowsiness. I sometimes drink to be capable...

    Your view on incest in fiction.

    "Any man can marry his mother-in-law or daughter-in-law and women can marry their fathers-in-law or sons-in-law. The only proviso is that they must have been separated first through divorce or death from their original partner. They must not be blood relations." I'm going to say this doesn't...

    Crisis of Faith

    This is why I believe those who are reincarnated don't remember anything because their immature body holds a far too large consciousness and "leaks" or squelches the excess of what cannot be contained. I don't think a life within the womb has ever been memorable for a reason. No one can remember...

    What Japanese Isekai fictions are the most unique?

    What was that one called? "Now and Then. Here and There" or something titled like that. I thought that anime was unique. Here we go, an image with the title in it.

    Is it selfish to have a child instead of adopting?

    Adopted parents vs. biological ones are a controversial topic. I can see for myself what the polls are claiming. I believe one of the major reasons I'm over-protective of children (such as my own child) is because I've been orphaned. This is not to be confused with being an orphan child. I'm...
