It is almost inevitable. You devise a fool-proof plan, ratcheted your excitement level to the stratosphere, organize, arrange, and just as you sit to write, it happens. The world comes barging in your door, heaping loads of problems, questions, disputes, troublesome issues, general headaches on your plate. Of course, you are the only individual on the entire planet capable and smart enough to resolve everyone’s dire dilemmas.

Welcome to my Monday. It was a test. They were the obstacles I needed to surmount to prove that nothing was going to stop me from reaching my goal. It requires setting boundaries (for real, I’m not kidding) and sticking to your plans. Despite the distractions, I eked out 311 words. Today offers a clean slate, a locked door, and threats of bodily harm if they dare to intrude on my solitude.

Are you writing for NaNo?

How is Day 3 progressing?
