Writing Question Asked

My goal is to tap into FLOW and clean up the mess later. The same is true when I cook. I get into the zone. Since I also LOVE to wash dishes, I deal with the mess later. ALSO sometimes distractions are very GOOD for me. I divert my attention for a minute and give some muscles a rest. It's like switching from the crawl to the breast stroke, what I discover is I get a second wind. So perhaps I am no help. I know there's the myth of the artist concentrating for hours on end in a steel trap of isolation and productivity. I was hit with this in art school. This is not how I am made. My walls are permeable and I welcome this. My focus is a bit like a bunny. I nibble and hop. Somehow the work gets done. That said, I require space from humans. I keep my phone unplugged/ringer off. I do allow myself food, walks and internet. I will throw in a load of wash and even start a soup. My brain is still working. I also find that sometimes as long as I am staying open vignettes come from unusual places and insights come from these relaxed moments. As long as I stay in the notebook habit and the reading habit, and the swim habit I seem to do well. I hope this helps. You will find your own way of navigating through your own labyrinth.
