And with my own long list of to-do's, in my 50's with less and less energy, I have to be stingy with time if I want to accomplish anything! Anyway, I will be thrilled with anything you publish, whenever you can manage it. But having struggled with all you describe, my one tip - the Kon Mari books helped me a heck of a lot. Her method it made it so much easier for me to jettison the non essential, without grieving for it too much. Weird how a book about tidying up seemed to give me more time! Anyway I'm just glad you're still alive so there is hope of more :D So, just no more accidents, please :DSL Keithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411894864312049426.post-12837915103063648582018-01-14T12:44:16.878-08:002018-01-14T12:44:16.878-08:00Um, "how you do what you do…"Um, "how you do what you do…"Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811351474495837208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1411894864312049426.post-64842879043720050822018-01-14T12:09:15.124-08:002018-01-14T12:09:15.124-08:00Procrastination, clutter (disguised, as it's &...Procrastination, clutter (disguised, as it's "organized" clutter), Puritanical "work before play" ethos, perfectionism.

To overcome it, I just scribble down every random thought as I perceive it. After a few paragraphs I tend to find my rhythm. Then I go back to the beginning, and see if there is anything salvageable. Typically, there is. <br /><br />I got the idea from "I Capture the Castle" when Cassandra locks her father in the tower until he writes fifty pages of something. "Oh, won't you just try to write, father? Write anything -- write 'The cat sat on the mat' if you like. Anything, as long as you write!"<br /><br />SPOILER ALERT: Apparently it is very clever to start a book by writing THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT nineteen times.Sam Spayed PIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014195187964841413noreply@blogger.com
