Glad I'm not the only one that hates having things hang over me while I write!<br /><br />Angie, I think it has something to do with the fact that Christmas is 6 days away. I bet you'll get your focus back soon after that!<br /><br />T. Anne, I will definitely keep an eye out. We shall be victorious in that department.

I'm the type of person who has to have all of my work done and everything neatly put away before I can concentrate on writing.<br /><br />It really is so hard to unplug and pull away from the distractions. Great tips!<br /><br />I learned a long time ago, however, that headphones (not earbuds, but the big, bulky headphones) do wonders when I'm trying to tune out the world. But my kids aren't real small anymore.Kathryn Hupp-Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776391661543060879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-28212392272198032072009-12-18T13:03:35.157-05:002009-12-18T13:03:35.157-05:00Nisa, I'm like you, get myself mentally and ph...Nisa, I'm like you, get myself mentally and physically ready and shut everything else out.

Haha! <br /><br />When I'm tired, I can't string coherent sentences together so I find it very cool and amusing that you write best then. I love it! <br /><br />Ali, no, that wouldn't work out so well. I can't even imagine having my boys in school, let alone coming home from it with friends... So odd! Can't they just stay little? lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616276555920544920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-1995481880374382242009-12-18T01:16:18.076-05:002009-12-18T01:16:18.076-05:00It's been so long since my babies were napping...It's been so long since my babies were napping and I wasn't writing then so ... Yikes! I guess the main thing on that subject would be for you to recognize that he's happy, so you should be happy too!. Turn down the monitor (not off!) so you can just hear him, but can also work, lol.<br /><br />As for me, my favorite time to write is just after school. So the boys are running in and out of the house with their friends. I like to put on my headphones so I can write without distractions. Totally wouldn't work for you, lol.<br /><br />Good luck to you Nisa!ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-29202141512453311682009-12-17T20:04:46.492-05:002009-12-17T20:04:46.492-05:00I can commiserate with the whole baby not napping ...I can commiserate with the whole baby not napping business--although mine doesn't happily chat, more like bloody murder scream, so there is no concentrating during that! <br /><br />Which is why I do most of my writing at night. And believe it or not, I write best when I am so tired I can barely think. I love that time because the writing seems magical, as though someone else is doing it for me!lisa and laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144863275895761642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350801126596899090.post-52864075354713432442009-12-17T15:20:54.069-05:002009-12-17T15:20:54.069-05:00LOL at number three!

I tried that today, while I was showering, and then working on projects -- unfortunately J answered it for me and invited them in -- it was my visiting teachers, but still, I had other stuff to do! *sigh*Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06487190717516147775noreply@blogger.com
