dumpstermesh User Info... | Okay I need a good kick in the tit. I should be working on my writing but I get sucked into this toy and waste a lot of my precious quiet time alone. I'm asking people to reply to this with encouragement, reminders, or to berate. Whatever it takes to get my procrastinating ass back in my writing. I do all my writing on a separate comptuer in another room so it's not hard once I get going... - Thu, 3 Mar 2005 2:17pm | ||
Shaggy User Info... | Get off the posting rig and get back to your writing damnit! If you continue to procrastinate, I'll be forced to send Willem over to your place so he can show you his ass! That should be enough motivation :D - Thu, 3 Mar 2005 2:24pm | ||

Nat User Info... | what do you write? oh and the best cure for writers block or procrastination is picturing a bestselling book with your name on it hahha that may be..dreaming...but give it a try - Thu, 3 Mar 2005 4:47pm | ||
dumpstermesh User Info... | My goal is to become a well loved childrens author. But really, I'll write just about anything right now if I think I could market it. I'm writing nearly everyday, but I can't seem to pull myself away from this as much as I'd like to. I start out doing my "market research" and end up on Live Vic. I need some serious intervention. - Fri, 4 Mar 2005 12:17pm | ||
Nat User Info... | thats cool. I plan to be a music journalist. Its hard to get into writing some days, but as im sure you know, once you get going its just as hard to stop. - Fri, 4 Mar 2005 1:52pm | ||
_Griphin_ User Info... | If your using the computer a lot, then load up wordpad.exe and write that way. Which reminds me, I have to start doing websites myself. - Fri, 4 Mar 2005 6:13pm | ||
WILLEM User Info... | I used to want to be a childrens entertainer, than I realized that I hate kids, and that I am really an asshole, Naw It would be kinda cool to dress up in clown costumes and make idiots of ourselves, and make kids laugh, I used to do this sorta stuff in my younger days, for birthdays and such, the children really get a kick out of it, expessially when your not ready for it. - Sat, 5 Mar 2005 6:50pm | ||

SickFuk User Info... | Try locking yourself in a dark room.... and don't come out until you feel that the only way to regain your sanity is to write down all the stuff that came to your head whilst in the dark.... Or just smoke a big fat one, take a walk down to the beach with your notebook.. and let your imagination run wild... There's also the concept of demonic possession, but the writing you get from that are kinda hard to decipher...:) 'ere - Sun, 6 Mar 2005 1:35pm | ||
_Griphin_ User Info... | Heh... darkroom?!? What about locking youself into a dark closet?!? - Sun, 6 Mar 2005 2:33pm | ||
The One After Two User Info... | WILLEM, I used to do that job... not as fun as it sounds pay can be good but can also be minimum wage. You got to work it. Nat, have you fired a resume off to the new daily The News Group is launching on the 14th or 15th? Maybe they could use a music scenester writer? Be like the other Mike Devlin? - Sun, 6 Mar 2005 4:18pm | ||
Nat User Info... | The One After Two I havent yet, havent heard about it, do you know where i can find more info? - Mon, 7 Mar 2005 10:05am | ||
dumpstermesh User Info... | Wow thanks to everyone for the motivational replies. My personal fave is the dark room/closet theory. I have yet to try it but I could see how it might work cuz my imagination goes nuts right before I fall asleep. I have a voice recorder to catch ideas before I lose them too. I used to do the beach notebook thing but I found my writing from those experiments to be weak. Odd, because I love the beach...maybe overstimulation? Nick - Was he really on the phone when he did it? Sick bastard!! - Wed, 9 Mar 2005 2:11pm | ||
The One After Two User Info... | Nat, the Paper is run by The New Group like Saanich News, Victoria News... so google it in the google machine and see what comes up.
