Keep Yourself Writing

I ran across this link that I could have used, oh, 6 months ago: 50 Strategies For Making Yourself Work by Jerry Oltion. Some good stuff in there, and also it’s good to know that other writers go through the same thing I do.

Time to write? Okay. But, uh, first I have to wash dishes; balance my checkbook; do laundry; clean my room; re-arrange the furniture; polish the dog; etc. You get the idea. Anything but write.

Why do we do this to ourselves?
