As for writer's squalor - I've the boys well trained & we muddle through & Saturday's the day for a thorough clean.

More stuff to shift around in pursuit of cleanliness. After I finish this chapter. =)Ann Swannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826695313958091226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261030989801364799.post-78251637074056425032012-08-03T13:17:19.410-05:002012-08-03T13:17:19.410-05:00I'm a tad dust-covered myself, so I'm righ...I'm a tad dust-covered myself, so I'm right there with you! My approach has generally been to write as early in the day as I can, for at least an hour (more if I am in The Zone) and then do all the other crap. But I keep getting sidetracked from dusting/cleaning with other RLI (Real Life Interference). I have vowed that by next weekend I'll do a decent apartment-wide cleaning. I just can't stand it anymore! But I have to make time for at least one #writingsprint first! /Get your priorities straight, Aniko!/<br /><br />(BTW, I probably out-squalor you. I'm still going through boxes from my move 2 years ago, trying to sort the stuff to keep from the stuff to toss. That's what happens when someone else helps pack and just dumps things into boxes! Never again!)<br /><br />P.S. Dusting moves up the priority list when your eyes and nose start running! (Makes it hard to read.) :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910725307996787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261030989801364799.post-36706096789037178032012-08-01T18:58:47.978-05:002012-08-01T18:58:47.978-05:00Well, there ya go.

And I first learned that almost 20 years ago when for an article in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine I interviewed SF/F author Elizabeth Moon at her home north of Austin (she's a Texan, too, even graduated from McAllen High School about 10 years before I did). It was a cluttered, dusty mess, and it made me feel SO much better! :DKaty Huth Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070461471031851970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3261030989801364799.post-79637822248055041542012-08-01T15:51:12.143-05:002012-08-01T15:51:12.143-05:00Glad I'm not alone in my squalor!

Writer's squalor, oh man, I suffer from that as well. :p I clean every weekend, because weekends are no writing days for me, Dh and the kiddos tell me I get the week, they get the weekend, it's worked so far. ;)<br /><br />And yes, those flying dust bunnies can be quite impressive sometimes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899243599516908136noreply@blogger.com
