Uh huh. Provided kids don't need clean socks in the morning or a breakfast.<BR/><BR/>But, yeah. What I do is sit down to write and then read blogs and articles on publishing. Sometimes even when I do have the time, I don't want to face my own writing.<BR/>Internal Environmental Block?Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207535421877539594.post-10373902872380847422009-02-26T01:16:00.000-06:002009-02-26T01:16:00.000-06:00I know what you mean-- I have all kinds of would-b...I know what you mean-- I have all kinds of would-be opportunities I just can't make use of for some reason or another.<BR/><BR/>If it wasn't for blogging, I'd hardly write anything at all!LiteralDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704368269389527451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207535421877539594.post-39033611433408589132009-02-25T19:54:00.000-06:002009-02-25T19:54:00.000-06:00Unfortunately I've become able to block out Husban...Unfortunately I've become able to block out Husband, my 2 kids, the dog, the TV, radio, the dishwasher and anything else that might try and get my attention.

It's easier with me as there's just Dan and I, but with the ADD thing, remaining still for long also has its own set of obstacles. Some examples...<BR/><BR/>Need tea. Did I hang the wash? Who the hell is making that racket outside!? Dammit! Where's that piece of paper I wrote that great thought on the other day? Am I having a hot flash or did someone turn on the heat? Has someone emailed me yet? Gotta check Facebook.<BR/><BR/>But, somehow, I manage to write about an 8 to 10 page chapter a day, even with the mental disability. To me, it's all consuming. Basically because I'm so curious to find out what going to happen with my friends in my story.<BR/><BR/>MaryMary Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099418115687661920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207535421877539594.post-79203558018843752122009-02-23T11:02:00.000-06:002009-02-23T11:02:00.000-06:00With me, it's not so much that I don't have any id...With me, it's not so much that I don't have any ideas, but that I can't type three words without having to stop because Sophie has gotten into something or doing something that she's not supposed to do. Now, I'm also taking care of my BFF's 3 month old baby, so that's consuming a fair amount of time as well.Donna Reed In Blue Jeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839764794862720611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207535421877539594.post-90668120719302881012009-02-22T22:38:00.000-06:002009-02-22T22:38:00.000-06:00I have the opposite of environmental writer's bloc...I have the opposite of environmental writer's block. If it's too quiet I get nervous! I actually turn on the TV before writing. Or stick in the headphones with really loud music.<BR/><BR/>I like the "reality weakness"!
