I've timed myself while doing the wash....how many words can I write while the clothes are washing or drying. I work best against a clock or deadline and I am a big time procrastinator! Thanks again and congrats on your publications!Kelly Vavalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084445688842531143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-5598889189836029292015-09-11T19:39:33.653-07:002015-09-11T19:39:33.653-07:00I'm not disciplined enough to ignore the ice c...I'm not disciplined enough to ignore the ice cream if I haven't reached my word count, but I'm learning that achieving my goal is its own reward. Not even Chunky Monkey can compare to the delights of a stack of handwritten pages at the end of the day.

I like the idea of Write or Die, I haven't done that before, must try it in the next challenge.... also the idea of rewards along the way.Melissa Gijsbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027810729828362064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-50307963047863560942015-09-11T15:20:24.464-07:002015-09-11T15:20:24.464-07:00Great article, Jo!

However, I do tons of research before I begin writing and keep a list of words, names, money, foods etc close at hand.<br /><br />I agree that stopping to fix typos and/or paragraphs is a delaying tactic… and I also do not reread what I have written the day before.<br /><br />I may try giving myself a treat at the end of the day, however I rarely, if ever, set a word count as I have found that it tends to freeze up my writing <br />saputnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006894490671128188noreply@blogger.com
