I've been working on my remodel and I'm just so tired of working on the final painting. So, when I plan to go work on it, I'm even more open to interruptions than usual, so I go to the basement and I'm near the washing machine, realize clothes are in the washer, move them to the dryer, remember that I really need to wash my son's robe because he wiped his hands on it, go upstairs to get it, then find some other things to make a load, notice that I need to put something away... Sound about right? Your post made me smile! --Marie Well, Mia, I’m not currently writing, but you just described the kind of thing that happens when I do practically anything.

You just described EXACTLY what happens when I sit down to write. It always starts with the big tea decision, which can take a full five minutes (ten if I decide to make a little snack to go with it...) I'd be very discouraged to actually sit down and calculate how many hours a week I truly spend on my new novel. I'm sure that well over half of my "writing time" is spent tea making, shredding, organizing, etc. Wow. You just described EXACTLY what happens when I sit down to write.

I'm sure if I had Kristy's Roomba, it would be right up there, too. Who has time to write when you're being called to shred and Roomba? Priorities, priorities ... I am SO into my shredder.

And a shredder. So I should go to Staples after work today instead of going home to write. Because really, is it safe to create if I can't punch the necessary holes in my new pages and destroy all evidence of the previous draft?
