Nut biscu...Well now you've made me very hungry. Nut biscuits, gluten-free stollen... Yum. <br /><br />I wonder if writers are so prone to procrastination because, in my experience, once you're in the zone you really really don't want to come out of it, not for getting the next meal, answering the telephone, taking an aged relative to the doctor... and because you know the creative flow will be interrupted by all these things and more, you don't want to get into the zone in the first place. A feeble excuse perhaps, and one which would apply to all creators - painters, composers, artists of all kinds. I'm always impressed when I read about people who can grab 25 minutes here and 10 minutes there to write, between bathing children, clearing up dog mess, bleeding radiators, answering emails etc. I'm not one of them, unfortunately! As you say, we just have to go with the flow and that's good too. <br /><br />I'm still thinking about those nut biscuits.
