Focus is like hocus-pocus. The day disappears before our very eyes. Hocus-pocus and other such charms were words said as a distraction technique ('busying the senses').
Writers perform hocus-pocus. Procrastination, not having the desire to write or no time to write are three things that cause focus lost. The goal is fuzzy, like looking through an out of focus camera lens. Make adjustments to bring goals back into focus. Stop busying your senses.
Procrastination (Things not to do)
- Check Facebook every three minutes
- Play a quick game (or ten) of Bejeweled or Solitaire.
- Watch TV.
- Count the snowflakes/raindrops/stars.
- Take your third bath of the day.
No Desire to Write
- Join a critique group.
- Analyze someone else’s work.
- Read a novel.
