Distractions
As it turns out, I often distract myself. In this world of endless notifications and pings and bleeps and dings, there are too many opportunities to relinquish focus. Therefore, I'm experimenting with a thing: I have decided to embody my distraction. This idea was inspired by a friend who was advising me as I lamented about the distractions that blare inside my mind.
I don't even remember where I got this ring. It has been years now. I liked the simple, angular design. It only fits on my left pinky, but that's good enough for me.
In any case, the idea is that, while it's on, I am allowed to be distracted: I imbue the lack of focus into the ring. Then, when I want to work, I take it off, and the distraction stays with it. I only started this fanciful idea today, so who knows how effective it will be, but I gotta try crazy things to foil my own crazy. It seems promising so far.
In other news, I might have to purchase Skyrim. I know, I know, it's one more epitome of distraction, but it's beautiful like a sunset or a song. Have you ever played Skyrim? You really should. It's a wonderful mix of literature, music, art, humor, diversion, puzzles, and dexterity.
In other other news, I must find an agent for my book. Meadowvale is over 62,000 words so far, and I have a bunch of other scenes to write, and a number of people have suggested the agent/editor/publisher may want to have some input about how the book ends.
Therefore, I am headed to authors.me.
Pip pip, cheerio!
