You're so talented you could play guitar while you wrote if you tried! JK. :D<br /><br />@ Vanessa ~ I'm sort of with you on the facing the window thing. I like being able to look out... dunno why...<br /><br />@ Angela ~ Post It Notes RULE!<br /><br />@ Diane ~ I don't mind writing things down by hand. Sometimes that's the only way I can get through a block. Otherwise, I have to be at the computer all the way. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing, you guys. I love it!

I can't write in my office, though. I need to take myself away from the computer and sit on the couch or at our dining room table. I often say I am a distraction onto myself.L.

As a lefty who was never taught to write in the proper lefty manner, I have a short list of pens I can use that don't end up in smudged writing and black stains on the side of my hand. As such, I tend to have a stockpile of the trusty Pilot P-500 (Extra Fine) pens.<br /><br />Other than that, I have the tendency to keep a legal pad or steno pad next to me, and when I get stuck, I start writing on that instead of the word processor. It usually lasts for about 3 sentences.Joseph Lallohttp://www.bookofdeacon.comnoreply@blogger.com
