Distractions can sometimes be good
12 Mar 2010Meghan Ward wrote an interesting post the other day about how she works, both as a writer and a book editor. It’s not my exact working method, but then a big part of the challenge of this business is finding what works for you, not hearing what works for others and trying to emulate it. I suspect the smart approach is to pick and choose the bits that fit.
One of Meghan’s ideas in particular really doesn’t work for me. She highly recommends a couple of pieces of software that will forcibly close your Internet connection, ensuring you focus on nothing but writing, and never Twitter of Facebook, email or anything else on the web.
Couldn’t do that for a moment. Wouldn’t do it either. Oh no.
