Clutter

Writing when there is a lot on your mind is like inviting people into your home when the house is a mess. In my mind, there isn't a company room, a place where I can store thoughts away until the writing is done. Maybe its something I will learn, like over the years I have learned to better about keeping the house clean. But for now there is too much clutter in my mind to invite people in and no funny stories about the children to distract myself and the reader while the millions of thoughts in my head bounce around until life settles down.
