I am my own worst enemy. Every time I sit down to write or contemplate doing some work, I get distracted. I start watching TV, I scroll on twitter , or I decide to go out. I am constantly getting frustrated at my self for failing to stick to a simple task or goal.
I never expected this to be easy, but I really didn’t think it was going to be this hard. This has been the trend of my writing for over 2 years. I would start something and show a lot of promise (well I thought so), and then give up and get distracted. I give up way to easy, if something just starts to feel hard or I have a better alternate.
I am truly the result of the digital age, a generation that is unable to focus for an extended period of time.
I have to learn to take baby steps, I have to become slowly more and more motivated. Every time I work for five minutes more after being distracted I build upon my will power.
It seems rather Ironic doesn’t it, I have to take baby steps (more like crawl) foward. I feel the more I write, the more I read, the better I will become.
So please, please wish me luck.

all the luck you way, Storyteller.
I do the same… midway through a poem I branch off onto something else 🤭
