I read email, cruise RD, check another email account...<BR/><BR/>I like my desktop to be clean. I hate when it's messy, and find it really hard to work when it's got junk piled all over it. <BR/><BR/><BR/>daynaDayna_Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911207081058418496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23496386.post-1146080932807457282006-04-26T12:48:00.000-07:002006-04-26T12:48:00.000-07:00Hee.

I love her for it, but sometimes...it's just nice to know there's someone else with the same issue! So thanks.<BR/><BR/>Of course, now I'm going to be checking in with you to see if you're conquering the demon any better than I am :)Dayna_Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911207081058418496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23496386.post-1146025704203088292006-04-25T21:28:00.000-07:002006-04-25T21:28:00.000-07:00Ooh, that's a good idea, Lia.

Like, when I wrote 10 pages in a day after a long dry spell, I took myself out to a movie.Sarah Palmerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939192038895751831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23496386.post-1146017010218877322006-04-25T19:03:00.000-07:002006-04-25T19:03:00.000-07:00I love candles too, although I usually forget to l...I love candles too, although I usually forget to light one. I need to get in the habit of using them, because I have a ton.<BR/><BR/>As for my rituals, I come home from work, turn on the computer, and start writing. I aim for 1,000 words a day, although I usually take one day off. (I haven't done so in a while, but I will tomorrow. I'm having a movie night with my sister.)<BR/><BR/>I can't have music playing while I write--I find it too distracting. On occasion, I turn the TV on but have it muted. It gives me the illusion of watching it. :)<BR/><BR/>Another ritual I have relates to sending stuff out. When I put myself in the position of possible rejection, I pick out a "consolation prize," something that I wouldn't normally buy for myself.<BR/><BR/>Rejection is never easy, but I've found I like having something I can console myself with. I only buy the item if I'm rejected. Acceptance is its own prize. :)Liahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597665643678399960noreply@blogger.com
