Life is full of distractions

The trick is to turn the distractions into inspirations.
Take my office window, for instance. I could gaze out of it for hours. Right outside, mere feet from me, are beautiful plants, gorgeous shade trees, and a bird feeder that is busy most of the day. The quail especially catch my interest. Just a few minutes ago, I was staring at them, feeling guilty for wasting time.
Now, I think I will incoportate my inner dialogue into my current novel and get my heroine moving. She feels like me today, unmotivated and stuck in place.
