I usually try to keep my Examiner.com column and personal @ScribeQuotes blog separate, but today's article is for a really good cause... So I decided to bend my own rules.

I wanna hold your hand
Distractions on the horizon... I was hunkering down armed with my coffee mug, laptop and boatload of freshly brewed inspiration, when I lost focus like an Ostrich who spotted a shiny object buried in the sand.
