Writing Exercise
Writing and parenting
I woke up this morning with the intention of writing, having been awake till 01:30 am trying to write with the TV on as background noise. This is the only time I can concentrate on writing as the rest of my day up till 10pm is occupied by errant children.

The Circus
Blue lines on a white page, I can still see the words in my mind's eye. My fifth-grade English assignment was to write about anything we thought was fun. It had to be, oh horrors, two whole pages long! All weekend I puzzled over this assignment like my life depended on it, trying to come up with ideas. Not able to put it off any longer, on Sunday afternoon I settled in for a session of torture at the kitchen table. With pen in hand, a pack of three-hole notebook paper in front of me, and a dictionary, I began. After writing first page after first page, then crumbling the paper up into balls that I tossed across the kitchen into the trash can, some successfully, some not so much, I finally settled upon the topic, the Circus.

Looking back
I started writing long before I signed up to Vocal, but I have always struggled to stay focused and motivated. The appeal of Vocal Media was the ability to self-publish. Prior to finding this platform, my options were to post on social media or just keep my writing to myself until I produced a full manuscript. Neither option appealed to me. I have worked out over the years that one of my weaknesses is my lack of attention span. I tend to be easily distracted and do not enjoy sitting still for any length of time. I have often found that if I get stuck on a section of a story or writing project, if I walk away and change my activity, I can compose what I want in my head and return to finish the segment to my satisfaction.

My Writing Process
While everyone is different, I know we all, on occasion, suffer from writer's block. Some days I feel like I can't find any inspiration or motivation at all. On the flip side, however, there are times when my mind will produce fleeting thoughts and ideas at such a rapid pace that I can hardly keep up. This may be a problem at times since I’m not focused on one thing in particular. Writing assists me in taking a more complete and in-depth look at some of the fleeting thoughts I might have.

How to Write Leads that Engage an Audience
Most adults have experienced sitting through a boring lecture that required strategically placed toothpicks to boost open our eyelids. However, we have also sat mesmerized by mentors with the gift of teaching who have us craving more information. The talent of presenting material in a manner that captivates the audience must begin immediately. Once interests wane, the challenge of waking a sleeping audience becomes intensely more difficult.

Cueing Strategies to Prompt Ideas
In drama, an actor sometimes forgets a line so from offstage comes a cue. In writing, cues work in the same manner. Writers sometimes cannot remember what they know. Cues act as prompts to uncover buried information. This helps develop a topic with description and creates a bank of ideas for writing.
