That's interesting about the hand sanitizer. I don't like the smell of most of them. I wouldn't be putting it near my mouth! Yep, the internet is a time waster – that’s for sure.

Take that away from me and I'll write like a demon! Hand sanitizer has been big here for awhile now. There's even articles on how kids can get intoxicated off it. (Using lots on their hands and then putting their hands in their mouth!) I find my biggest distraction is the internet. Take that away from me and I’ll write like a demon!

It's amazing how much you can write in half an hour time periods. Tempest - no sexy men in the ads at all! Not a single bit of inspiration - so sad... Cathryn - I did get a little distracted watching some of the kids at the storytime. I love people watching, too.

I've never tried to write at a coffee shop because I am easily distracted. I LOVE to people watch and KNOW I would spend my time doing that instead. I do long hand writing while sitting at the soccer fields etc when my son is practising, but I do find I do my best work when I'm at my computer in my office. That's when inspiration hits for me.

Yeah, sometimes a change of scenery does wonder to one's muses. :grin: As for the ads, if there are sexy men in them, perhaps they are trying to tell you to use them in one of your stories. :lol: Congrats on the word progress!

Knowing I only have a limited time to write really helps me focus. And it gets me away from other distractions. I have some hand sanitiser in my purse, but don't use it very often. It's more for the kids when they've been touching "gross" things. :mrgreen: I like to do writing on my lunch hour at work, or when I take my daughter to soccer practice.
