Inspirational and validating to writers everywhere drinking mass coffee and smoking or drinking way too much and fretting over pages. Nice angry post-it notes too. ;-) Very NICE pikey.

Again. I think you did this to me with the previous installment, too. Thanks for this. Both of these installments are acting as a sort of kick in the pants to get me working on my own (fan)fiction. Also, did you make that post-it picture or did you find it? Cause it's pretty cool. Man, you always get songs stuck in my head… and just to top it off, I want to re-read His Dark Materials. Again.

Basically, it's write or stare out the window. It works. Granted, it means I only work on my book for five hours a week, max (usually less if I have to run errands during lunch), but at least it's all totally focused. ^.^ Re: distraction…the way I’ve managed to beat my multitasking tendencies is to only write/edit on my lunch break at work, on a netbook incapable of gaming or doing much other than internet and writing, without any sort of internet connection available.

But this will have to do: Especially 3 and 4 are thoroughly awesome points, but on the whole, a good read! I'm still struggling with trying to figure a way to deal with (and get) feedback, and any writer claiming he or she has never thought that their writing-in-progress sucks is lying or enviably confident (or more likely, unenviably delusional).
