Which activities make you lose track of time?
Losing track of time is such an easy thing to do nowadays. Or in actuality, it has always been easy to lose track of time.
When you’re first in love. When you have a newborn. When you start a new job that needs an immediate turnaround. When you’re wrapped up in a series, you must binge-watch. When your exercise routine is really kicking in. When you are on a great vacation. When you’re bored out of your mind.
Oh, there are so many ways to lose track of time. To be immersed in both movement and inertia. To be set amongst that which is comfortable and to be set within that which is uncomfortable. Actually, comfort probably leads to losing track of time more so than discomfort. In tense situations, we may be too aware of the passing of time with prayers for that too to pass.

Is there not a paradox when people say that a serious traffic accident occurred in “slow motion”. I’ll ask you then how much of the brain’s resources are engaged for each situation. In a car crash, all resources are engaged for survival analysis. The analysis activity in the brain involves many events. Generally, the number of events measures time, but in this case, it is the opposite, i.e. more events equals less time. Explain.

Writing – when I’m in the zone – is like that: it takes what it takes to get the story right, and there is no measuring.
I waste so much time on minutiae of being alive (that’s what chronic illness is like) that I am happy to be seduced into the writing universe when it happens, because it results in polished words furthering a story I want desperately to finish, in spite of the damaged brain.
Somehow I’ve gotten through twenty-three years and produced two volumes and a prequel – and I wouldn’t take back a minute of that.
