Writing with interference

[amypond45]

I don't know how Jane Austen could write at the dining room table. All I did today (oh, besides the usual cooking, cleaning, and snow removal) was respond to constant cries of "I'm bored!" and "what are you doing?" whenever I started to try to concentrate. My only real writing time is 5:00 a.m. before everybody gets up, but once the kids and hubby get up it's just not happening :(

i feel you :/ i have to be alone when i write. even just having a silent companion in the room makes me feel weird.

I KNOW, right? Even when they TRY to be "quiet" I'm on edge just waiting for somebody to need my attention. It's so frustrating!

I have the same problem. Both the Spawn and the Spouse need constant attention and interaction, and if they're in the house it's like I'm just... waiting for one of them to interrupt.

Yes! Like I'm wearing a sign on my back that says INTERRUPT ME CONSTANTLY!
