A BABY, DISTRACTIONS AND DISCIPLINE

Having a novel swirling, twirling and buzzing to burst forth through your fingertips onto a cyber-page is challenging when days roll into weeks and weeks into months.

In an attempt to get my characters busy, I realize what I have always known.

Allowing myself to become distracted and having limited discipline is a character flaw.

Think I will write it into  Primitive Palmer. A character will be unfocused and a time-waster. Yes, I like that in a fictional character. I must also enjoy it in a real person.

Here is the sleepy face of my main distraction (going shopping with her Gigi, and yes she rides in a secure car seat, she's just playing in my car for a minute).

Is it fair to blame my seven-month-old fabulous granddaughter for my lack of focus?

Absolutely not, but I could also write THAT into the book!  A tacky grandmother character...yes, that sounds about right. Now, what to name her?

Hm.
