Massa Sat, 03 Feb 2007 05:24:00 +0000 http://www.realmsoftheraven.com/%posttitle%#comment-7968 I like it to be kind of quiet when I write. But I live alone--well, my daughter is with me again. And I have some trouble when she's chatty, but lots of times, she just lays on the loveseat and reads while I write. I find writing is best when it's too late for the phone to ring. I do writing races with Sasha a lot. I tell anyone (like my daughter) that I'm going to be racing and to give me quiet time for 20 minutes. That seems to be an easier chunk of time for others to deal with. and if you write flat out against the clock for 15 minutes, it helps you get over the hump and usually, you can peck away after that. The extra five is time to say how many words you typed and set up the next race(we time ourselves and chat on msn about it) So, that's one way to do it... I like it to be kind of quiet when I write.

I'd *LOVE* to keep to a schedule. I've been doing pretty well lately, but it's not perfect yet. And yes, I do have a lovely cranberry candle that keeps me in the mood!

I try to write every day, that's important to me and I have a place I usually work but mainly that's because it's kid free. I don’t have rituals really.
