#13 - isn't this an unlucky number?

"Make a habit of writing amid comfortable, moderately uninterrupted conditions where all you do is writing" 

This is a challenge. To create a relaxed atmosphere with few distractions where all I focus on is writing...I might have to rent a storage unit and put a desk in there or something.

I find that writing on my laptop causes a few strains. My eyes hurt if I stare at the screen too long. My left pinky always cramps. And as for interruptions, I can't remember the last time my internet had only one window open. I always have tabs at the top for my email and an assortment of random tabs that I didn't close from unusual google searches.  (I looked up how to chop up a pineapple this morning. The pre-cut containers are so over-priced!)


There is also mention of getting into a habit of writing at the same time every day. This is tough. My day to day activities vary. I'm usually busy from 9am-6pm every day with class and work. 

And then of course, the unpredictable. A trip to urgent care. A meeting with the landlord to get the air conditioning fixed. There's always something unplanned that sneaks into my day and rudely snatches a portion of my time. 

I think I will try to make 8pm my time to write.
