What distracts you from writing the most?

For me, it would be:

  • The forums
  • Hot weather— I can’t concentrate when it’s too hot
  • If my nephews are playing outside and I can see them from my living room window, because I’m a protective aunt and I want to make sure they’re okay. If their mom is outside with them, it’s fine, but if they’re outside alone, I’m always looking to make sure other kids aren’t being rude or too aggressive with them.
  • Too much noise

Music! Idk how people do it. I just can’t. I really wish I could, but I get so caught up in the song, I forget what I’m doing.

  • Daytime, I write at night usually. I could wake up early, but I’m no morning person :sweat_smile:
  • Youtube, definitely
  • School
  • Forums
  • Sometimes just other story ideas, I get wrapped up in them in my head and can’t write on my one idea I’ve been focused on.
  • Procrastination in general, really.
    I think youtube and my own mind distract me from writing the most. I write and stay up late-which is bad in. And sometimes I have so many projects and things to do and limited time to do it that I just spend so much time procrastinating without actually picking one and giving myself the chance to write! Then sometimes I think that I won’t like writing it or something or will get bored and then I don’t at least try and write something!

My lack of confidence when writing. I get helpful criticism all the time, and I low-key need it, but I tend to second guess myself a LOT after I receive it. I usually tell myself I’m giving up the story, then I go back to it and continue writing. It’s just an endless cycle, really. I even did the test, I’m 92% turbulent, and 8% self-assured. That really isn’t good. I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m bragging, but what would I even be bragging abt tho…

I’ve been told often that my biggest problem is my head. I don’t even doubt it. They are so right…

Youtube…never fails. Also, when my I’m being pestered by someone. If I’m not feeling great I will lose the motivation to do anything. Being overworked at work. Video games sadly. There are probably more reasons but this is what comes up for the moment.

Too much noise and sometimes music! I do like to listen to music while writing, it does inspire me but it also really distracts me!
