Some days, we are write (I mean right.) on target with our writing goals and other days, it seems we will never find the last piece to the puzzle.
I’m writing my children’s book and my brain is on overload. Too many wires out there and they are not connecting. If you are a writer or a student working on a term paper or thesis, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
We’re trying to focus, so that our writing path is clear, but our mind cannot quiet down and concentrate!
I know this is when we are told to “meditate.” I’ve tried that. My brain does quiet down for 5 minutes, then it is back to brain chaos.
This made me think of inventors. Can you imagine the patience they have to have when they keep reaching a dead end! I’m sure Thomas Edison banged his fist on the table many times when he was inventing the light bulb!
The key is visualizing the end result. Keeping our mind on the prize!
So, TODAY is about finding a break through!

I’m with you a 100% on this. I’ve been having trouble concentrating on my writing lately. I may need to take a break.

It’s good to take a break… we need NEW inspiration. Good Luck!

You are absolutely right. I know that so well. On one day you start to write a sentence and find no end. The you delete everything and start again – and again to meaning in the sentence. And on other days words just come without any effort to you…

I’m smiling, because my Monday I might be on fire with a 1,000 word post. Just kidding, but we never know when that inspiration hits us, right! Looking forward to seeing what you are cooking next!

So true. One of the tricks which I find helps free my mind is doodling or free-writing where you put your mind out of gear and go with the flow. The subconscious is a surprising thing!

You are right! And listening to different types of music, I find that can calm and inspire the mind in a new way. Thanks for the idea — I am going to try the doodling.
