I’ve been
struggling to get back into writing. A lot of it is other projects and time,
but there’s another aspect I haven’t addressed. Space. I have been doing nearly
all of my work in the same space. That means grading, coding, marketing, and
other side projects have shared the same physical space as my writing area.
Consequently,
I think that my brain has tainted itself to think of other projects even when I
want to focus on writing. I used to get around this by physically relocating
myself to coffee shops and bookstores. I might have to resurrect that practice,
and indulge in the occasional overpriced hot or iced chocolate in order to get
the writing back up to speed.
I also
might resurrect an old computer with a simple word processor to create a
separate physical medium used solely for writing.
