Now, I'm like you - I just do it. <br /><br />I count blogging in a separate box to everything else I need to do. Because I work from home I can become really isolated, so blogging's the perfect way to have the leisurely conversations I'd normally share over a lunch break - but in a compressed 150 words, and less with the comments. I also find it quite motivating - particularly when I post a to-do list.<br /><br />Oh, and if you find that extra hour let me know...PinkPatentMaryJaneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219272193124932806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-37213225914208460832010-05-04T13:30:58.354+10:002010-05-04T13:30:58.354+10:00I'd LOVE a 25th (or 26th or 27th) hour in the ...I'd LOVE a 25th (or 26th or 27th) hour in the day...seriously. I'm trying too, so you're not alone. Though I have to say I might have to call out a Missing Person's on my own Muse. Perhaps I should check if she left her passport...if it's gone, I'll just have to get on without her!

I like deadlines that come around every 18 months, not once a week or even daily. Horror! And I agree with you about the Muse. Have given up waiting for her. The only way to make her come to the party is to park my backside in a chair and write. I think she's shy. <br />PS.

So that when I do finally get to them? They just spew forth onto the screen. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not, but that's my story (excuse?), and I'm filing it (with a few minutes to spare).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-59168984388293588682010-05-04T08:54:09.895+10:002010-05-04T08:54:09.895+10:00I so understand this.

But lately I'm finding twitter all too consuming. I have started switching it off. It's like a siren song.<br /><br />It concentrates the mind doesn't it having a set time before a) they wake up, b) the school run c)ironing engulfs you. I love what you said about 'the muse' being held up in traffic.<br /><br />Like you, I have never ever missed a deadline. I take them seriously. But something's got to give. My two year old seems to have given up napping and I want to be with her. And at night is the only time I can work on my novel as well as let my husband think he hasn't lost me to the internet.<br /><br />So I don't know where that leaves me, really. I know I can't complain about 'the pram in the hall.' I know other people write novels with children around. It's twitter I blame.<br /><br />I think you've got the balance about right? You're managing to fit it all in. If you find that extra hour, let me know.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09338687691871813019noreply@blogger.com
