Started the morning writing. The air started turning brisk, the phone rang and I bolted inside. Distractions are par for the course when you get into the groove.

If you write how do you deal with Distractions?

Has anyone read “The Making of a Story” by Alice LaPlante? Genius YA author & Library of Congress YA Advocate Jason Reynolds recommended it for writers during a podcast with @SubwayBookReview I‘m just starting to read it.

I use this book in my creative writing course. Great anthology and the instructional portions are well written.
