  10. Ditto. And then it was tea-time. However, whilst the salmon was doing its thing, I managed to complete that third chapter.

  11. You have a typical writing day down to a tee. My suggestion is to disconnect the internet or go somewhere you can't access it. Recently I had to invigialte a 3 hour exam. I took my notebook and whilst checking that no one was cheating or needing more paper I wrote more then I ever do if I'm on the computer -oh the temptation - take me to a nunnery I need some silence!

  12. LOL. It's so easy to get distracted. :P

  13. For cats read dogs and chickens, but apart from that you've pretty well nailed my sort of day. Loved it.

  14. ...adding to that list, I could add, Comment on Jaynes blog...! :)

  15. Oh GOD. That was my day. Except I'm not as honest as you. I call it 'researching' on the internet. Even when that includes 'researching whether that Vivienne Westwood jacket is mine yet.' Great blog!

  16. That is hilarious! I think I just read my brain on paper. :-) Have a wonderful weekend!

  17. This is perfect. It's why I love writing, too!

  18. So well put. That is often how I am when a blank sheet of paper in my sketchbook stares up at me ...

  19. Oh, so many can relate! If only I were stronger! My blog has turned into my excuse for setting what I hope to be a first novel aside every f#@*ing day!
