So ...Oh, man ... your comments made me smile today. So it's NOT just me, and even the inexhaustible Sue Ann gets distracted. Thanks for the good tips: I'll try that to-do list (and try not to do ALL the items instead of writing), and I LOVE the hourglass, Cricket. Thanks for the permission to eat more chocolate, guys ...

Bleah.<br /><br />However, I have a new little time trick, having recently purchased an hourglass on impulse. Just something pretty to put on my desk -- and then I started really using it. Somehow grains of sand are easier to deal with than numbers on a clock. So now I flip it and write until it's time to turn it over again. Four flips and I get to go play in the kitchen for a while.Cricket McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786996969148417569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-83986679495811297052010-01-07T11:31:28.160-05:002010-01-07T11:31:28.160-05:00Sue:

I am an expert at Spider Solitaire and in the past two years have played 4,169 games of online dominoes, 441 games of backgammon and 689 games of hearts. And don't get me started on TV.<br /><br />I keep a to do list. When I can't function at the keyboard, I pick one chore and do it, then force myself to return to the manuscript again for another hour. It's amazing how much housework gets done that way. A friend says he can always tell when my manuscripts are going well - my apartment is dirty.<br /><br />Gin - I don't go to the office in my PJ's, but more than once someone has asked if my iron was broken.<br /><br />One blessing though - I can't type and eat at the same time. And that's a BIG BLESSING!<br /><br />Hang in there everyone, we're all in the same boat.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-83285700950774649382010-01-07T09:35:12.250-05:002010-01-07T09:35:12.250-05:00Paying the bills makes me feel both virtuous and o...Paying the bills makes me feel both virtuous and organized. It does not get the WIP any further ahead, though.<br /><br />I really do dislike housework and would rather write, so that's a blessing. <br /><br />I don't know how Sue Ann does it. She must go to work in her PJs. (I came out to the coffee shop w/o my glasses so if I just wrote DJs, I hope you know what I meant.)G.M.
