Focus

Writing is easier when there is a focus of attention on a relatively narrow topic. Shotgut or scattered attention leads to chaos, disorganization, and, ultimately, despair. There must be a beginning and a steady, focused progression toward an end that is satisfying or that fulfills a need. What captures your attention? What would you like to accomplish? What do you want to be? Why are you doing what you are doing? Is it a passion? A pasttime? A time suck? Does what you are doing interest you? Do you lose a sense of time when you are engaged in it? Do you fantasize about it in some way? What do you dream about or think would make you happy? Are you happy now? When you dream, do you dream of doing something else and being somewhere else?
