A motivating notion.

[matt_doyle]

So I want to write a couple thousand words today to break my slump, and I had a notion.

Would anyone be interested in watching me write  / harassing me while I worked on gdocs?  An audience might be just the thing to motivate.

Or it might terrify me into wordlessness to show you all my rough drafts.

I don't know yet!

Let's experiment. 

Science!!!


But seriously if this is at all interesting, let me know in the comments.  Doesn't have to be today, and if it works once it may become a recurring theme.

Tempted. Could I also ask questions why you wrote, or would I need to be quiet and let you focus (in which case, no thanks. I mean, if you hit your stride, say so and I'd bug off until you pinged me to return, but just watching and keeping quiet? Not so much).

haha I knew what you meant.

you could definitely ask, so long as you didn't mind a minute lag or so before answers! and I would chat, too. I don't need total focus and I certainly do not need a silent audience!

Then, yeah, this weekend maybe. I love the process of other people's writing. Their ideas, how they give shape to thoughts, etc. And then getting the opportunity to talk about it.

Excellent!

Starting a #1k1h in five minutes (sort of impromptu, sorry about the short notice). Is there a gmail or other email address I should send an invite to? Mine is c dot matthew dot smit , if you'd rather email me the address.

Duly noted!
