I've been writing again, and fitting in playing the violin when I can. It feels good. Though, my family doesn't seem to understand the concept of' leave me alone while I write'. I kept losing my train of thought. But, such is a bane of being a writer. Anything can make you lose that awesome sentence you were about to put on the screen.
I hadn't played the violin in days before today. I was messing up a lot. I think it's because I was thinking too much. I've found that when it came to playing, I need to just focus on the music. Let my mind go blank and just play the notes as I see them, without thinking. It's not easy. I daydream constantly and sometimes a daydream will try to sneak in there. Then I skip a note and force the daydream off to the side.
I think tomorrow I'll play in the morning, and write in the afternoon. This way I have plenty of time to give my daydreams my full attention while I write them down. It's how I write my books, afterall. My notes on my wall are mostly what has already happened and the characters. The rest, it comes from my mind.
