You’re in the groove. Words fly out of your fingertips as you work your magic on the keyboard. Heck, even the best grammar software can’t turn out prose this tight. Suddenly, you’re interrupted by a call. It lasts a good hour. You sit back down and stare blankly – your flow was disrupted and now it’s gone.
It is not that easy to have such a wild and bountiful ideas and imagination but then, when you have something important to do which could distract your attention, then all your ideas suddenly fades away.
Very irritating isn’t it? You could have think for the last idea you had a while ago or think of some possible things that can make you remember what you supposed to think. Well, you are not the only people who experience such interventions.
I also encountered that situation. It is really a bothersome when you have tried it. Feels like a seeing a lot of tiny bubbles and with a blink of an eye, it all disappears. Not only once, but I encountered this situations many times. Especially when your friend comes a long and chatted you for a moment.
But when you are back, you forget everything. I always recall things or words that might help me remember those thoughts and so I have discovered an effective way on how are you going to gather all your ideas for you to use it into writing. What do you do to get back your lost momentum? Here are a few suggestions.
Put down a quick reminder of what you are about to write before answering the call. That way, you can check the note later when you sit back down after a call or any situations that might disturb you for a moment. Hopefully, it drives you back to the idea that you had earlier.
Stop writing mid sentence. Instead of finishing the sentence you are on before picking up the phone, intentionally leave it hanging. That gives you something to return to immediately, one that is likely to propel you back into the right mood.
Review what you have written so far. Sometimes, the best way to get back in that productive space is to allow what’s been put on paper already to ease you in. Read it aloud and resist the temptation to edit anything (do not even think about running that grammar checker). Revising will only sour your momentum even further.
Write a different section. If you’re midway through the writing, try working on the conclusion now. You might need to build up your momentum from scratch and the best way to do that is to start fresh.
When your mind is going to create some great thoughts, put it down right away. Recording it will help you remember things when situations like answering a phone call will happen. It is best to write it down than spend most of your time thinking and imagining things that you would like to appear in your article.
