Obstacles when writing

Have you ever noticed how many obstacles are placed in your way when you want to sit down and get serious about writing?

There is a reason for this phenomena. It's because you are supposed to be writing that. (Whatever 'that' writing piece is.) You were meant to write your novel, or your blog post, and that's why the obstacles have been thrown in your direction. It's to keep you from doing what you are meant to be doing. It's meant to keep you form your life purpose. It's meant to distract you and keep your focus on something else.

Expect the obstacles.

The question is, what are you going to do about them?

The obstacles are far worse, by the way, when you have a deadline and are writing the novel you are most excited about. The obstacles are worse during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)--and during your preparation for it.

Have you experienced this in your writing life?

If not, just wait. You will. It's inevitable. 

Take a look at my historical blog. I'm going to write about my own obstacles regarding "Yorktown's Dawning" and the journey of that novel. It will be called, "Obstacles and Yorktown's Dawning." I will have it posted shortly. (Provided that there aren't even more obstacles.)
