I always try to do that but never succeed. I guess that's why I'm always running late. But this is some good advice, even though I don't think I followed any of these, but I guess my health isn't that great! lol! I might have to consider washing the dishes for once and sing!

I have to applaud you for the doing the dishes suggestion. I find that when doing a chore like that, my thinking becomes more organized. I, have come up with some great writing ideas scrubbing the shower!I also think we have to accept our own personal quirks when writing. Even if my family is 100% content, I just can't write when they are walking around, talking, etc. I am going to give the multivitamin and juice thing a shot, though :) <em>Jessica The Rock Chick's last blog post..<a href='http://lifeisrantastic.blogspot.com/2008/03/b-c.html' rel="nofollow">A?

Each one is quite valid. I think the last one, for some, is less about we should be paid for our work than just money is a great motivator to sit down and give themselves permission to feel their inspiration - and write it better. <em>Marcia's last blog post..<a href='http://tumbledwords.com/2008/03/21/netnewswire-free-rss-reader-for-mac/' rel="nofollow">NetNewsWire - Free RSS Reader for Mac</a></em> Interesting direction you took this, Damien.

Will pop back and check your pieces on the bios later - look interesting Joanna <em>Joanna Young's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ConfidentWriting/~3/255394999/inspiring-words.html' rel="nofollow">Inspiring Words That Connect Us Together</a></em> Damien, these are great thanks, I particularly like the ones about managing your state before you start to write, and doing non-writing things like singing as you wash your dishes.  Housework and gardening are good writing inspirers for me too.
