Actually I shouldn't say 'we' as that's a bit presumptious. What I mean is from your comment, how you said the day is lost if you break that rule, I know what you mean, I sometimes feel like I've delved too much into 'other stuff', non-writing 'stuff', procrasination, etc, to do anything creative with the rest of my day. Which is a bit daft of me, I should be easier on myself, and harder too. What a trick to master. Thanks for commenting - glas you're looking forward to Jenn's post.<br /><br />Rachel - ha, thanks! <br /><br />Elisabeth - hello, and nice to meet you here too. I think, for me, I just have to force myself to stop the aimless browsing. Check emails, update blogs, read news, all that stuff is okay, but not if I'm doing it more than a couple of times a day. I have to remind myself it's in my power to not do it, then I feel a bit stupid.Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-84043372477309737882010-04-18T01:50:14.756+01:002010-04-18T01:50:14.756+01:00I'm new to your blog, Teresa.

But it is great fun, however unsettling it can be. It's good to meet you here.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-67602476698571702642010-04-17T08:29:33.012+01:002010-04-17T08:29:33.012+01:00PS Good luck with your submission :)PS Good luck with your submission :)Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-58051123629987697302010-04-17T08:28:39.408+01:002010-04-17T08:28:39.408+01:00All good!

Just writing.<br /><br />If I break that rule, then the whole day is lost. And I hate to report it does happen sometimes.<br /><br />Looking forward to Jenn's post.Jon Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824815967445843124noreply@blogger.com
