When I try to concentrate, I really enjoy writing.

I write slowly and get distracted a lot.

I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.

It is really important that focusing on things such as spelling, punctuation, grammar and handwriting doesn't inhibit the creative flow. When I was at school there was a huge focus on copying and testing and it put me off words and stories for years.

Writing is a very lonely occupation. To write you need to concentrate, to concentrate you need to lock yourself away. No distractions; you want your stream of thought uninterrupted.

I tend to focus on what I'm doing at the moment, and that takes up the entire span of my focus.

Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.

I really love writing, but I am very easily distracted: my two cats fighting, a rainbow, a TV show... I have to use every trick to keep myself at the computer.

I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it, and just get on with the task at hand.

Well I tried to, but I could never write anything that I liked or was worthwhile. I threw it all out and realized that I had to make a serious study- that my tastes were far more advanced than my abilities.
