Writer's Log - Back on Track

I've hit my stride again and the momentum is gaining. I'm at 20,108 words after finally starting in again last night after a slump.

Part of it is, I have a hard time getting in the zone with outside emotional distractions. As soon as I'm worried about a friend or family member, I have a hard time shrugging it off and mentally I shut down. I'm nearly ready to quit answering my phone on weekends because it seems like it's never good and even if it was, any time on the phone is time not writing. I need a writer's cave with sound proof walls.

One thing that motivated me last weekend? Watching Hearts in Atlantis. I'd never seen it before and really enjoyed it. Stephen King is a phenominal writer and watching his books come alive on screen is always a delight. (Although I will never watch The Green Mile ever again. I cried too hard.)

What, or who, movitivates or inspires you?
