Phone calls and fiction are a bad mix for me
Today was one of those days when the phone took a great deal of time and energy. I've learned that phones can be a big enemy to writers if we aren't careful. There are business calls and personal calls, both of which are necessary at times, but which can also be an energy drain. When I'm working on writing that isn't fiction I can devote more time to talking on the phone. But when I'm trying to stay steeped in a story I have to walk a chalk line as far as monitoring my time on a phone. It's always good to know what hinders our fiction writing and what moves it along. Phones are high on the list of hindrances for me while I'm trying to write a tale.
