Frustration is annoying

Do you know how annoying it is to feel frustrated? Well, if you multiply that by a hundred you will know how a writer feels. You see, if you are a writer, frustration leads to writer's block. And that means that you might feel the need to share something....and you have no idea how to go about it.

My frustration manifests itself in a strange way, I stop making sense. I can't write, or talk to people because my mind goes 100 miles per hour. Maybe this would be a good time to tell you that I might have ADD and so my mind usually goes over the speed limit anyway. It gets worse when I am frustrated and unless you know me very well, you might feel intimidated or scared. You might even think I am crazy. It is just how my brain works.

And my brain is always working. When I get frustrated, it usually happens because I was doing something and thinking about ten other things. I will give you an example: On Thursday I took the day off. I went to see Sex and the City 2. I had a great time while I was in the movie...for the first 30 minutes. The rest of the time I was thinking about a personality quiz I took on Facebook, what I was going to eat for dinner, how where we going to get home, what was I going to write in my blog tomorrow, did I leave water for the dog, how much money do I have left in each account, did I finish the re-write on my e-book....need I go on. The idea of a day off is to give me energy and new ideas for the next working day. My brain goes so fast and in so many directions that I end up frustrated. When frustration comes, nothing gets done. That is why I think frustration is annoying.
