I've decided in my wisdom, to reorganize all my youtube videos! You know...so I can easily get to my NaNo inspiration stuff, and to music vids, and ooo I didn't know I had that!
I keep falling asleep every time I sit down at my computer to write. Seriously, this afternoon I had my third unplanned nap in...three days. And I probably slept three or four hours this time before the phone ringing woke me up.
And now, I can't believe I'm wasting the few minutes time I have left writing this on a forum rather than doing the two weeks' worth of dishes in my sink. I promised myself that would get done today...
I take sleeping pills in order to research their effects for later use in my novel. I always pass out before I can see what happens in later stages though.
I tend to fall asleep or be very tired inexplicable when I want to write. Or I say, "hey, I'll just draw/go on facebook/check DA/read for a little bit, then I'll go back to writing!" And there's also the convention I went to and the hospital visit, but those are actually legitimate... at least the hospital...

I decided before November came that I would take a break from writing entirely on Sunday's. (That meant leaving the computer off to but look, here I am. Haven't touched a word of my novel though!)
Because my cat keeps interrupting me. And I have to figure out how my hero is reacting to the current situation before I can write the rest of the scene. That it's in the POV of the heroine is not helping.
( This post was brought to you by five interruptions by the cat, two phone calls, and one coughing fit. And people wonder why I don't get anything done...)

What things do you use to get out of writing?
Re: I Am not writing because...
Cleaning out the cat pans.
Re: I Am not writing because...
Homework, but not because I want to. >:P
Re: I Am not writing because...
A potent mix of homework, netflix, and forums, it's quite deadly. :P
Re: I Am not writing because...
I'm making dinner for my family.
Re: I Am not writing because...
I am using my own laziness as an excuse for not writing. (See? Even my excuse is lazy...)
Re: I Am not writing because...
Hahaha I applaud your excuse! :P

Nah. I'd rather write.
Re: I Am not writing because...
I am getting slightly frustrated with my novel.
But that's okay, because I still love my novel and will get back to writing it eventually.
Re: I Am not writing because...
I do not feel like transferring all my handwritten work onto a Word Doc so I can get the word count. I especially do no feel like counting.
Re: I Am not writing because...
I'm stuck.

I take sleeping pills in order to research their effects for later use in my novel. I always pass out before I can see what happens in later stages though.
(Also, I like to sleep.)

Re: I Am not writing because...
I'm not writing because A) I have homework and B) I am putting off that homework by being on the forums and C) Homework is soooo boringggg! :/
Re: I Am not writing because...
I am not writing because I have no idea what happens next.
Re: I Am not writing because...
Ninjas! Or crazy people eating the ice cream out of your fridge in the middle of the night! Or the last battle, where your hero dies a tragic death...
Re: I Am not writing because...
I am not writing because it's still early. I have plenty of time to write later.
Re: I Am not writing because...
I have to sit at work at take calls for people that have an IQ of about 12.
Re: I Am not writing because...
This is more fun. And my characters went on sit-down strike.
