Whether the writing blues the writing highs, or just a question, I will post it here.

It's been a month!
Oh my, a month since my last short entry.  I love writing, but how do I let the time slip away. What is the secret that keeps writers writing and me away from the keyboard?  I know I lack focus and am easily distracted.  How to fix it?

Yes, I try setting a certain time each day for writing, but in a small apartment, how much I can concentrate depends on who else is around? Is my husband up and about? Are the neighbors blaring their music again? Has my cat decided she needs extra love and to sit on my keyboard so I can pet her?

Perhaps I need to try heading back to the local coffee shop.  I could write for 2 hours. That is how long the battery on my laptop will last. Twice a week? Can I do it everyday?

How do budding writers create self discipline within themselves when so much is around to chase your focus away?

I am open to ideas.
