My writing process...(Summer)

For me the process of writing is a little bit challenging. That is because I have to have silence and in my house that is non-existant. I don't even think my kinds understand the concept of silence or what the phrase "Shhhhhhhhhh" means. They just keep on going as if I never said a word. I don't even know what silence is like anymore. And when I do have silence I don't know what to do with it. But really, I have to have some real quiet time to get the juices in my brain flowing. I usually have to lock the kids out of the house for a couple of hours or when my husband gets home I lock myself in our bedroom. That is the only way I can really focus and concentrate. And even then it might not work because shortly after I lock myself in the room they are banging on the door for some water or something. I have to remind them that their dad is in the other room and to go get him. Once I get going and in the mode I am good though.
