Ahem.
We went camping this weekend, refusing to change our plans because of some stupid weather report. It started raining around midnight and was still raining when we decided to head home (only 45 minutes away) around noon the next day. We had fun anyway. LL particularly enjoyed the light sticks we hung from the tent ceiling. (LL=my almost 3yo daughter.)
NOTE TO SELF: Today I will finish a draft of the article that is due Sunday. Even if said draft is far from perfect, by 4:30 this afternoon, it will be a continuous document from introduction to concluding paragraph. I may take breaks only for lunch and potty; to prevent any spontaneous blog posting or related procrastinatory activity, I will turn off my wireless until the end of the day. Before leaving to pick up LL, I will print out the completed draft and set it on my desk, so that I may start my work day tomorrow by reading it and only then determining what sucks and needs revising.
FINISH THE DRAFT. NO REVISING. NO INTERNET. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

Loud and clear!
Delurking to let you know that I have put myself on the same disciplined schedule while I am finishing a book I'm editing.
Doesn't appear to have been a very rigorously enforced schedule on my end, apparently. Good luck with your article!
Welcome, Suzanne, and thanks for your comment. I know I'm not alone with the discipline thing, though it helps to be reminded!
