That is problematic. On all fronts. It seems like you need to be somewhere where you don't expect to see anyone else much - landlord, tenants or spiders - then you don't have any expectations and can just get on with life.
Maybe not so tight, then.
yeah, i really just need my own little space. in london.
Aww. Have you written to Neil? Maybe he has an attic room to rent for an aspiring writer?
!!!!!!!
Yes, you do! Any progress on that front?
little bits here and there! i think that's how it's going to go. thoughts or ideas or lines come to me when im just going about my business, as opposed to when i sit down and make a concentrated effort to think about it.
Yes! That works for me too. Sometimes if I have a whole day lined up and think 'Today I will write', it can be the deadliest thing of all. I think snatching little bits of time here and there takes the pressure off and sort of tricks you into the right mind set. I get lots of ideas just when I'm falling asleep - I read something somewhere that your brain is in a really creative state, just at the point where you're nodding off. So I keep a notepad and pen by the bed! Often I get ideas for lines of dialogue or text right at that moment. Sometimes they're shit when you look at them in the morning, but there's usually something you can work with.
oh shit, pep! i hate when a laptop dies! did you get another one? or do you have a back up computer?Yes! That works for me too.

Mine is doing okay. I'm about half way now, but it doesn't go smoothly at one speed - I keep hitting patches where I have to stop and spend time thinking it through before I can go forward, which is annoying because just when you're in a nice rhythm, you suddenly grind to a halt. Plus my laptop died last Friday and I've been spending all my time sorting that out, and getting all the stuff off it - big stress
you get sillier all the time
I just put on some hydrocortisone cream.
It's a prescription for eczema that I used to have. On my face. Nothing like this development though.
Maybe that's what caused mine. I just started using a mist on my face, by Saje. It's basically essential oils and water.
