Writing in tense situations

[Karlin]

In normal circumstances, I manage to sit down and write for an hour , sometimes more, 4 or 5 days a week. Now, things are somewhat tense in this neighborhood ( middle east), i find it difficult, well, even more difficult than usual, to concentrate.

Have you had similar experiences?

Never on the scale of what is happening in the Middle East but I have had neighbours that stopped me writing.
For me the answer was to close the windows and darken the room... And a kick-ass set of noise-cancelling headphone with an epic playlist.
And for my personal wellness I took up mediation to calm my mind a little.
