It was pretty tough to just 'pants' it and I don't want to go through that again.<br /><br />Hopefully, I'll be able to discipline myself a bit more to help with my distractions :)Mark Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029920604932980141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-6246650722343655372012-09-11T21:01:52.417-04:002012-09-11T21:01:52.417-04:00It's great that you're doing NaNo this yea...It's great that you're doing NaNo this year and that you're taking the time to outline first. I know too many writers who don't and end up in a mess and then have to scrap hard-written scenes. <br />Good luck to you (and keep away from those distractions)! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-4416906880445781672012-09-07T08:36:29.721-04:002012-09-07T08:36:29.721-04:00Definitely lots of squirrels around when I'm t...Definitely lots of squirrels around when I'm trying to focus :) I think that, sometimes a 'change of venue' is a great idea when trying to focus and I'll have to give that a shot, as well.Mark Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029920604932980141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-32000735645097356462012-09-07T03:54:44.088-04:002012-09-07T03:54:44.088-04:00I am the master of dist... ooh squirrel!

Lately I've been taking my laptop into the library and working for a few hours there. I get so much more done in a much shorter timeframe!<br />Marsha is my superhero now, I was going to write short story but I had to keep coming back to read her post to try to be inspired to resist distraction ;)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059559142070140041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-66775311107702386442012-09-06T12:18:12.469-04:002012-09-06T12:18:12.469-04:00I need to really work on that "In the Zone&qu...I need to really work on that "In the Zone" power myself....that'd be all kinds of awesome :)Mark Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029920604932980141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461420851656193405.post-45812478339300270352012-09-06T11:36:18.486-04:002012-09-06T11:36:18.486-04:00The internet is so distracting!!!!

So I think I am now impervious to distraction. Like a superhero. A distraction proof superhero. <br /><br />What were we talking about again?
