I was so frustrated afterward because I knew that I'd sabotaged my own work time by my choices. And I had read your post so I KNEW why writing hadn't happened, and I was so annoyed!

I usually just start telling them things about my story, but eventually, the conversation drifts...<br /><br />Good job having a routing, Shannon!Jill Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943570354349667196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-88418090454624567132017-04-20T09:32:43.913-05:002017-04-20T09:32:43.913-05:00I hope you're not here to see this comment, Je...I hope you're not here to see this comment, Jessica. Good job turning off your email! If you have a laptop, another idea is to write in a place without wifi. Then you have no temptation at all!

(Also plotting. That doesn't seem to work for me either, much to my despair.) I'm an organised kind of person - but somehow that doesn't transfer over to my writing life. Don't know why not!

I can't wait to try this! :D Thankfully, I don't have any electronics of my own, and i don't do Facebook, so i won't have to worry about that. :) Email is my biggest problem. :( I'll have to find a way to conquer that.

My stress level's at 10. <br />Sometimes, I'm in the middle of writing and a notification of a new email pops up on my laptop screen. Me, my silly self, goes and checks it. Then, I get caught up with checking other blogs and other sites, and then I quit writing. I QUIT WRITING!!!!! Eek. I need to do what you do. <br />-turn ALL things that will distract me off (if that includes going in other room to get away from Tv screens, then do so.)<br />-visit bathroom, so that I won't be interrupted if I'm in the middle of a flow.<br />-just write.<br />-stretch every hour (VERY good idea)<br />That's all I have so far...but I'm sure more will come.
