Drake Baer quotes “The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers.” People can get you distracted from what you have going on. While Carolyn Chute was writing her book, she was getting distractions from a ton of guest just arriving at her door step. Carolyn Chute and Drake Baer had face similar distractions through the course of their writing career which was time. You always must remember time is key and whatever you do in life. These writers also had a problem with time but that didn’t hold them back from pursuing their goals in becoming a powerful writer.
While being a student in college you face a lot of distractions when you are writing a paper. I have been struggling with facing distractions through the course of my life. I’m always trying to find somewhere quiet or trying to be productive. My main distraction is my phone device. Either I’m looking at the latest trends or gossip that is going with social media. I’m trying this new method not to be on my phone device that often since it gets me sidetrack from doing my work. It tends to get me anxious when I’m not on it for a while, but I always keep in my mind “Doing my work is more important and what I don’t do today determines my future”. You can also find ways to avoid distractions to become a better writer. By putting your phone on silent and placing it somewhere that isn’t reachable for you to grab. If you turn off, your internet access can be helpful also. Meditation can help by taking a deep breath if you think you are about to get distracted. Privacy is key into becoming a writer you need a piece of mind. When you set the mood around your area by lighting candles or spray air freshener in the room. This will make you relax while you study and help you be less forgetful. These steps can help you become a better writer just minus these distractions. Do I believe I can become a better writer? Yes, I do believe that I can become a better writer, but this requires a lot of time and dedication. I’m willing to get feedback from my peers and teacher. I will put in the time towards writing because this will determine my business career, and having writing under my belt will take me far in life. http://partners.nytimes.com/library/books/092799chute-writing.html https://www.fastcompany.com/3017315/leadership-now/6-ways-to-be-a-hemingway-level-productive-badass
