Is it just me or does it seem like the longer you procrastinate on something the harder it is to get back to finishing it. Whenever I take a break from one activity and move on to another, it's like I have ADD and can't get back to that other thing looming over my head. When you have kids it's real easy to get off track, and in order to stay on track I essentially have to ignore everything around me, even my child's screams for attention. It is really hard to do this considering my two year old has quite the set of lungs on him and uses the word "no" frequently. Also, when 'The Wiggles' is played repetitively throughout the day, it's kind of hard to focus on anything that doesn't have to do with 'Dorothy the Dinosaur' or 'Captain Feathersword'. Despite all this, I have managed to make a little more progress tonight on my sci-fi novel. Albeit only about 600 words more than what I've had for the past couple of days, it's progress nonetheless. I have learned that even though you really want to get something done without interruptions, having children will always prevent this, unless it's nap time. Jewel of the story...through the screams there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is called bed time.
