This got me to finish revising a WIP so that it was ready to send a publishing house I was targeting. So avoiding the TV is definitely part of the solution.Janetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-38881124498414276702011-09-14T12:44:26.290-04:002011-09-14T12:44:26.290-04:00I have to set a deadline, and there have to be con...I have to set a deadline, and there have to be consequences for not meeting it. I DVR a lot of programs so my reward for being a good little writer is watching a program. I only let them sit on the DVR so long too. If my butt is still not in gear I pick a date that stuff starts getting deleted.Jill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754506629717417267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-86309772135720005642011-09-14T08:27:40.021-04:002011-09-14T08:27:40.021-04:00I can totally relate to feeling down about my writ...I can totally relate to feeling down about my writing.

Sometimes I just make myself sit down and write something- sometimes a flash fiction helps to get the writing muses flowing.<br />MaureenMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785560971517152290noreply@blogger.com
