I hate that kind of interference with how one operates. Even when it's in a good cause, like this one: I get resentful.
I hope you are able to come up with a different methodology. Perhaps you can go for long walks at lunch? Or go sit in the car at lunch? Oh, wait, no, it's winter, that won't work.
Well, good luck with it and I hope it won't last too long.
ps -- I rather liked what I saw of Col. Clark, as well. The gift of Chocolate was a very nice touch: can I assume this was before Hershey and Nestle became a by-word for "terrible American excuse for chocolate" in Europe? *grin*
Look, given a choice between d-rats and cadbury (I hate cadbury. I know. They'll be turning up with torches and pitchforks any minute now.), I'd take the cadbury in a heartbeat. I would imagine the British reaction to hershey would be much the same. :)
There's a lot more of Clark in the next chapter and then more to come down the road. I've thought about it waaay too much, but part of it is that I'm finally writing someone who is unabashedly an American liberal lawyer. He's closer to what I know and to the people I knew who worked in the International Human Rights Law Group in the 90s. This character is also, in terms of the work and role (but not personality), based on a really, really remarkable person who I deeply admire who was then fictionalized in film in a terrific performance. So, yeah, I'm seriously doomed

I also do this while walking the dog -- but as I do it aloud, that can be hazardous as the neighbors all point at the crazy lady talking to herself. I once did this at home in the morning and my son said, "Mom, who are you talking to?"
Oh my giddy aunt. This is just too amazing. I think can foresee additional dog walks in the near future. And I thought it was bad trying not to laugh while I'm reading fic during my lunch break - never mind writing it in my head. Look at it this way - by sacrificing your me-time commute you're building up good deed/do unto others/universal karma (or something) points : )
