I love writing... But there is this thing that gets in the way...PROCRASTINATION!!! Do any of you suffer from this???? I mean when I write I also wander...into the forum...onto websites. Then I go back...eventually. And its not because I'm not into the story... because I am totally. Anyway, since this forum has lots of writers I thought I'd ask...

Very much so Ebony, to the tune that I have considered buying my B/H brothers laptop, when he sells it. Then I won't allow it to be online till I write!

It's not so much procrastination for me as the lure of the internet. I find I write more when I am handwriting, which is why most of my fics get done that way now.

I am the world's worst procrastinator. That's a large part of the reason I haven't written anything now for such a long time...

For me, I just need a block of time (at least 1-2 hours) when I am reasonably guilt-free about other work/chores I ought to be doing, and when no one is distracting me, because I can't write unless I can get into the right headspace, and focus. Sadly, I don't get as many of these as I would like. I also write best at night, and do really well when my boyfriend is out of town on a business trip and I can sit up writing until 3 or 4 AM.

For me I imagine the story and the different possible directions and only when it feels right can I put it on paper. Sometimes a story takes over and it makes it a pain to try to write anything else.

Not sure i can answer this as I have not been writing for the last little bit. I say it is due to stress and over work, but who knows could be lost muses or procrastination. I know when I am in a writing "mood" the story will not let up and I do not go wandering around the internet, although I may stop occasionally to check in here. I CAN get lost looking up words in dictionary.com or thesaurus.com though.

I write best at night too... no distractions.
