March is the month that is supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb. Certainly, the lion has been active this month with flooding, tornadoes and violent snow storms tearing through parts of the country. Here in Southern California, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen more of the lamb. Except for some strong winds whipping things up, it has remained fairly calm and warm.<\/p>\n
A writing career can have its lions and lambs, as well. While, for most freelance writers and authors, the lamb is most prevalent, the lion does roar on occasion. It is difficult to concentrate on writing work when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re suffering an illness or injury, when there is emotional trauma in your life, when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re distracted by things outside of yourself. It takes a monumental event to dissuade dedicated writers from writing, but some writers seem to use any excuse not to write.<\/p>\n
Try writing in the emotional vein of your story while mourning the recent death of a loved one, while involved in intense testing for a job or credentials or while working 12 hours per day in a left brain job, for example. Your writing will, most likely, be affected. Even though, you know you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll eventually get back on track, it can be disheartening to watch yourself struggle while trying to write a simple sentence. Be kind to yourself. It happens. And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably only a temporary setback.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, if there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no good reason why you aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t doing the writing you say you want to do, take steps to remedy the situation.
