You lose your habitual behavior, which allowed you to sort of zone out. You have to be here, you have to be now, you have to be present.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been fortunate in that I've been forced to move from zone to zone.
I was reading an article in the 'New York Times;' it talked about being in the zone, and being in the zone you're so focused that time ceases to exist. It's when you think, 'Oh, I've been doing this for five hours and didn't even know it.' It's the difference between hard work and going, '12 o'clock, not moving.'
You get so tied up with the minutiae of the day-to-day, there's never a chance to sit back and let your subconscious run wild.
It's very hard to live in an environment where you're reminded, constantly told that your existence just happens to be here... That you are not meant to be here.
I wake up, and I'm in the zone... My performance is the continuation of my life.
I get into a zone where I'm really in my own world when I make music.
A lot of times you're just conditioned by what's around you.
Suddenly, you are very much in the present, and you learn it's really the place where you should always live.
I stay in my own little zone, and that's good for me.
As for the zone, I always find the zone immediately after I am sure I will never ever find the zone again because it has left me for some other, better writer.
