Battling obstacles

If you need a prompt for your daily writing, just go to Heather's blog. She'll give you something to think--and write--about! Today she wrote about turning obstacles into enemies, and how she moves into battle mode until she plows through them.

Wow.

Can I learn how to do that, too? Me, the person who avoids confrontation at all costs?

Maybe.

Maybe this is a good place to begin...battling the obstacles--the EXCUSES--that I use to keep me from writing.

Interruptions are one of my obstacles. I've been interrupted no less than SIX times...now seven...and before I finished typing "seven" came eight and nine! And here I blame my internal critic for my slow writing pace. (Of course, that critic does slow me down for sure, but the interruptions are HUGE distractions.) I need to learn how to keep my focus despite the distractions because, with my youngest child only 7-months-old, I have many years of interruptions ahead of me yet!

But I like the idea of battling my obstacles. After so many years of complacency, I'm ready for a good fight. Besides, it might help my marriage to fight the obstacles instead of DH...even though at times he is one of my obstacles...!!
