Focus

Daily writing prompt
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

No matter how warm and comfortable, it’s that predicable human factor that’s the difficult one to deal with. Yes, I can say I want natural light, countryside views, just the right temperature and humidity and only pleasant noises. This can all be easily upset.

Distractions are the big one. Love that moment in The Shining when Jack Nicholson sits at his typewriter. Even worse when we all find out what he was typing.

Luckily, my distractions are not that of a towering spooky mountainside hotel. They are social media, my coffee cup, a ring at the door, taking the bins out or some useless attention getting device that should have been switched off ages ago. Even writing these few sentences while I’m supposed to be writing a presentation.

Give me a private space with only a couple of nice distractions. Nothing that goes beep like my German washing machine.

  1. Social media is a great distraction! I thought that your coffee ☕️ cup would rather serve as a means of fuel. 😀
