Well said! I guess different people have different challenges. I find it harder to focus! I get too many "brilliant ideas" all the time, and it is easy to get distracted. Yeah, I daydream too much :P Thanks Calvin! Well said!

As mentioned by Walter, many of the famous inventions were produced some flashes of inspiration. One great example would be the creation of the 'Harry Porter' character. J.K Rowling was just sitting on a train when the image of Harry and the wizard school just appeared. That idea would make her a billionaire and the richest woman in England. Nonetheless, as mentioned by Kian Ann, distractions will be harmful when one gets too carried away with all these straying of thoughts. When one brilliant idea is developed, one will simply get distracted and move on to another even before executing the original one. When that happens, nothing will ever be accomplished. Hence, my opinion is, do not be afraid to daydream. But once you set your mind towards a task, be absolutely focused and not allow yourself to be strayed by the distractions. If a brilliant inspiration pops out for another issue, write it down first. And get back to it after you've finished the task at hand. ;) Hi guys,

The issue comes when you have to bring a point across, and when you already want your post get your reader to do something - distractions or straying off, in this case, may be harmful. ;) Hey Walter,

I find that trying to be too focused may sometimes backfire in producing good copy. As in all good inventions in the history of mankind, great writing comes less from technique and more from inspiration. ;) Well, I think that sometimes it is good to be distracted and to spend some time smelling the roses and admiring God’s wonderful creations before plunging into writing.
