How did the first week of the challenge go for you?

For discussion: What do you do when you really need to buckle down & work on your fic? How do you close out all the potentially distracting things in your world? In the writing session we talked about internet blockers (like Leechblock & Chrome Nanny). Do you use anything like that? Turn off your phone? Tell your family to stay away on pain of death?

I'm glad the writing session helped! (& ha, once again I missed you as you left -- I just hit enter on a "bye, good night!" message to you as you left, heh.)

Oooh, yes, avoiding procrastination by cleaning off the desk or something is important too!!

I should probably cut off the internet more, but the trouble is sometimes I need it for research in the middle of writing something. ^^;;; Sometimes I can just go on & note that I'll fill something in later, but sometimes it could change the whole direction of the story. It helps if I use a different browser for research & put an internet block on the one I use for DW/LJ/etc. -- if I had to think about logging into DW on Chrome when I had Firefox blocked, it would in general stop me & get me back on track.
