Often when I sit down to write I find it hard to focus. It's difficult to shake off the events and encounters of the day. One technique that I've found helpful is drawing. I'm not a skilled artist by any means, but I enjoy sketching. It quiets my thoughts and helps me to concentrate. Sometimes I sketch something that is around me at the moment; other times I draw from memory or from imagination. Treat yourself to a nice sketchbook and some good pencils ... ready, set, draw!
