chaos writing

[ophelialaughs]

(Because somebody asked.)

A while back I was thinking about writing. Actually I began by thinking about not writing, as in, why wasn't I writing? Like nearly every writer I know, I thought I had too many distractions going on--mostly my husband, but the phone, the kid, the neighbors, the landlord, the school, life

I remember that entry! I was obviously not thinking, lol. Those chimes are lovely.

Oh man...that's brilliant. I'm gonna do that this Friday when I'm fleshing out my "act". Thanks for posting this. I told The Mrs. about it and her response was, "Oh cool, does that mean you're gonna do dishes for twelve minutes?"
Well, maybe not dishes but...something.

Dude. Women don't like to do dishes either, but somebody has to. You eat, right? Either help a sister with a dish now and then or start a dishwasher fund, lol.

That said, dishwashing isn't the best chore for this, because unless you can get them all done in 12 minutes (or whatever your optimal time turns out to be) the water's gonna get cold and it'll just be a pita.

I'll be delighted if you find this technique helpful. My timer was $1 at Dollar Tree, and I like it because I can clip it to my sleeve and go outside and check the oil, throw a frisbee, check for ripe 'maters (when we still had some) but there are some nice downloadable ones like newport2newport posted a link to above. Good luck!
