It was an interesting experience, trying to figure out which things on my to-do list I could still work on. Fortunately, at the time, I was concentrating on research, so I sat by a window all afternoon and read away!<br /><br /><br />(And, yes, cookies <i>definitely</i> help!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832782604769370695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-5695190963683026312010-08-04T14:55:00.249+10:002010-08-04T14:55:00.249+10:00Lynda - thanks, living in the country means our co...Lynda - thanks, living in the country means our connection can be iffy sometimes, but the technicians do come out and fix any problems, so that's nice :-)<br /><br />Casandra - you're most welcome, thanks for commenting!<br /><br />Clarissa - yes, love the technology, but I do need to plan more breaks from it ;-j<br /><br />Elaine - I promise it's not a spoiler! It's the protagonist's own assumption pretty early on that he is a sociopath (and possibly on the road to serial killing). You'll love the book - very different.<br /><br />Aubrie - Thanks, I'm looking forward to choosing which books to feature in the giveaway :-)<br /><br />JJ - thanks for the tip, I'll check it out. I like to think I have many powers, but unfortunately 'will' does not seem to be one of them.<br /><br />Mary - thanks, I think it's especially hard for us mums to switch off, we always manage to guilt ourselves into thinking there's other things we need to do - but it's great when you can have a self-indulgent writing day :-)<br /><br />Vatche - Thanks and 'write on!'<br /><br />MPax - I need a little more boredom in my day then! :-)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-65491249885501643262010-08-04T13:48:01.028+10:002010-08-04T13:48:01.028+10:00I always say, boredom is great for my creativity. ...I always say, boredom is great for my creativity. :DM Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-43592817081792166922010-08-04T13:28:25.950+10:002010-08-04T13:28:25.950+10:00Well, Charmaine, congratulations to you for gettin...Well, Charmaine, congratulations to you for getting so much work done!

If you're looking for a way to enforce switching off, it's a useful tool.jjdebenedictishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950592240599703771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-29521459336822838382010-08-04T00:20:15.381+10:002010-08-04T00:20:15.381+10:00Good job on the writing spree!

Dramatic irony is probably my favourite where the reader gets to know more than the characters, but all types of irony can amuse and really help draw me into a plot.<br />Thanks for sharing an interesting post.Cassandra Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515442718374750674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-51381306652940156032010-08-03T13:59:18.884+10:002010-08-03T13:59:18.884+10:00Grats on your distraction-less writing spree.
