But I've noticed lately that I put off writing sometimes when I'm worried about being late for something, or not getting my son to bed at exactly nine p.m., or other "timely" consequences. I'm concerned that if I let myself use the thirty minutes here and 45 minutes there, that I'll immerse myself in the story so much that I'll forget the real world and we'll all suffer for it. I should try setting an alarm, I guess, to pull me out when it's time.Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2494197888792366753.post-70354528548851371662011-08-25T20:27:33.635-06:002011-08-25T20:27:33.635-06:00ROFL!!!
