It def. needs some sort of organising, what with work, son, masters, "social life" (hah!) conspiring to obstruct my plans. Maybe I will try increasing the caffeine though. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment on my blog btw.Mick Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09197530189996260996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-36059682303642027072011-08-02T08:42:57.963-04:002011-08-02T08:42:57.963-04:00Mick, I think you do need a routine, and caffeine,...Mick, I think you do need a routine, and caffeine, of some sort to actually finish writing a thesis -- good luck with that!intelliwenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872666573909696493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-32034994802387540792011-08-01T18:08:35.891-04:002011-08-01T18:08:35.891-04:00I'm not sure if writing a masters dissertation...I'm not sure if writing a masters dissertation counts as "writing" per se, especially as it contains more numbers than words. I gave up on my novel a few years back. One day I might get around to looking at it again, though this seems unlikely. <br /><br />Coffee makes me way too hyper; I'd be climbing roofs by lunchtime if I started my day with that. Therefore, I stick to tea (strong with sugar), unless I'm working night shifts when I'm not adverse to a small Red Bull or "similar stimulant" (read cheap supermarket version). <br /><br />I rarely write in the morning; it takes me most of the day to wake up. Usually, I write (read calculate) at night, if I'm not too drunk to focus on the numbers.<br /><br />Interesting anecdote follows: I had a philosophy professor (actually he left before I started, but that's hardly relevant) who wrote his "works" in a hardbound notebook without using notes or making drafts. He just started and continued until he'd finished and then sent it to his publisher. Allegedly, he made not a single error - ever! I find that highly likely, having read some of his work.<br /><br />On the subject of philosophers, Kant used to get up early, write until early evening and then allow himself a coffee and some tobacco. He didn't teach me either.Mick Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09197530189996260996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-4693425176649688372009-01-31T08:40:00.000-05:002009-01-31T08:40:00.000-05:00Thanks, Joan -- I have become addicted to browsing...Thanks, Joan -- I have become addicted to browsing the "Life" archives on Google Images.intelliwenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872666573909696493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-50506111721489853672009-01-30T22:02:00.000-05:002009-01-30T22:02:00.000-05:00Tea, toast and the paper.

I do like to drink tea sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a routine! I rarely have to BE up for anything, and when I do it's pee, shower, brush teeth in shower, dress, pluck eyebrows, put on face and eye cream (it's so dang dry here), and go. I don't even have to brush my hair because it's so short now :)Mirnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155043949352546961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-2962861605161842482009-01-19T15:03:00.000-05:002009-01-19T15:03:00.000-05:00We're uanimous on the coffee, then!We're uanimous on the coffee, then!intelliwenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01872666573909696493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243874013166160718.post-78625365119455230532009-01-19T12:56:00.000-05:002009-01-19T12:56:00.000-05:00I love my mornings . . .Coffee and email, and blog...I love my mornings . . .<BR/><BR/>Coffee and email, and blogging and Facebook!<BR/><BR/>In the dark, cosy corner of my home office.
