“A man may write at any time, if he will set himself doggedly to it.”
Dr Samuel Johnson, March 1750
Struggling to write those 1,000 words a day? Or even half a dozen sentences? Dr Samuel Johnson has a lesson for us all, on the days when we are tempted to make excuses for writing nothing at all.

Running out of things to do rather actually starting that chapter? Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty more ideas if you play Procrastination Bingo – on Jennifer Moore’s site at https://jennifermoore.wordpress.com/2016/04/29/procrastination-bingo/
I’ve already ticked off the Spider Solitaire one (in fact I do every day).
Would one way out of this problem be to reverse the situation? Perhaps you could set yourself the task of cleaning the oven, and then beginning your new chapter could be one of the things you just have to get out of the way before you start? Just a thought.
Thanks, Jennifer.
