Yes Zeph!! You might even have included 'Doing a bit of entirely unrelated blog work on the side'
...me, I always get stuck at the font stage which can take months or years to get past (if I ever get past it that is...)
Pah! You're obviously a complete amateur in the avoidance of writing - I could've thought of at least sixteen.
Sixteen? What a joker, I'm on sixty and counting. Rule n°6 only comes in at 58 for me.
10-wrong, if you end up at the hospital, you might write about hospitals, nurses, doctors, the ambulances,the sirens, the emergency rooms, the solitude of dying and healing-there are many things going on in a hospital
Ah, but also in hospital there are good ways to avoid writing, such as feigning unconsciousness:)
I know, there are many many more - feel free to do another 10 of your own! I only restricted the rules to ten to make it neater and because of Commandments, but rules are made to be broken, no?
('puttingitoffside' - mdr)
And you missed redecorating after you've moved all the furniture!!
All too familiar. Me, I rarely get past point two and its endless variations, once you have made enough notes, you get to convert them into elaborate outlines, and then spend several hours adjusting the indentations, and experimenting with using little bits of clip art for bullet points.
And I admire your resolve in actually getting as far as the charity shop, I've got boxes stacked in one corner of the bedroom because I may need to try things on again later and decide to keep them after all.
And surely the many distractions of the hospital are exactly why you cannot write there, instead you get to become very melodramatic about how the sirens are shattering your concentration.
munni: I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes my bags and boxes get removed to the attic because somehow something might come in handy one day.
Munni, I'm afraid I don't carry out the charity shop rule properly: there are bags waiting to go....
I hoard Everything too, you just never know when it might come in handy
cure: emigrate and suss out the shipping rates, but I fear I've started again...
Ah File - the Shipping rates. That would be a checking out of the Plimsoll line and then tuning in to the most important radio broadcast: The Shipping Forecast
munni.
I would love to write about the hospital, the problem
is this darned straight jacket .
better a straitjacket than a gnoose. (oops, wrong thread)
