I'm pretty much exactly the same.

So I'm thinking maybe I will start getting ispiratin when I start work and I'm too tired to actually do anything but work, then I will be like "INSPIRATION!"

Go you! Is it possible to lend me some of that inspiration?

And OMG. I just read the last chapter of MB and I'm SO glad that you're already writing the next chapter! Yay for inspiration!

Yeah, I'll take some of that inspiration, too. But I know what you mean about writing to avoid situations. I'll confess right here (although Lise already knows this) that I scribble in church. Yup, I write while the preacher is giving his lessons... Shame on me, but it's not like I don't multi-task and listen with one ear. I can tell you later what he said!

I'm totally the same way to my professor, parents, and basically everyone's exasperation. Truly I have to "invent" deadlines in order to get things done on time or else, I'd still be sitting there with my stuff waiting to get done.
As for MB, hooray! Yet, I'm sure that when Elaine sees Darcy he'll be Darcyish and have to be aloof and stomp in his boots (as this is generally Darcy behavior).
