I use to check my email and then get sucked into surfing so now I check my email on my phone. That way I don't convince myself there is some important must-read email that I'm missing but I'm still not getting on the web.Laura Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237841462234396752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938186989777253556.post-77771125939531242662011-07-27T21:24:27.184-05:002011-07-27T21:24:27.184-05:00Hi Sarah!

When I was typing that word, it felt like it was going on *forever*. And then I was amazed that I'd spelled it right.<br /><br />Hi Arizela. I'm glad you get a boost out of the process. Anything to help the words flow!<br /><br />Churchill says thanks, Laura. :-) Though I could have strangled him a minute ago. He plunked down on the keyboard and sent my browser *insane*.

I send out the queries and forget about them until the responses come in. I do generally get a little boost of energy out of process though and my words seem to flow a little better for a couple of weeks after I send stuff off, but I don't obsessively check for responses or watch the mail or whatever. For me, having something out there is a good focusing tool to motivate me to write more.
