When I put my sandals on the last thing I want to do is
sit down and write. I want to enjoy the colors of spring, and all that sunshine.
Spring and summer is for getting out and doing. The ease of writing during the
darkness is the only good thing about winter.
Do you change your writing habits in the spring and
summer? I do, I find myself finding better excuses not to write like planting new
flowers, weeding (yes weeding) or spending the day running errands. Why are
errands so much more fun in good weather? It has to be the sandals.
I try to combine the two by taking my work outside, but
those three birdfeeders I put out this year bring in the most colorful birds.
They're so much more interesting than my open laptop.
Spring fever is a serious illness for writers but when
the cure is winter, (OMG what a lousy cure) as soon as the sun is down, the laptop is open.
How do you deal with spring and summer distractions?
