I do this by picking someone out of Carson's link at the Content Done Better Blog. It's led me to some great places--like here. I do occasionally walk to my pond and I have been known to throw a line in. Have a great week, Ann I find great blogs of writers and see who else is having an ‘off’ day.

Then, I convince myself that I'm not being productive anyhow. Next, to stay near the work, but not in the work, I balance my checkbook or return e-mail. At this point, I realize that my mind needs to focus on something completely different so I minimize the screen and switch off the monitor. Before I can change my mind, I pull on jogging pants and tennis shoes, grab my iPod and zoom out the door for a walk or run, depending on whether I'm facing Weary Writer Syndrome or Writer’s Guilt. By the time I return, my mind has cleared and I've come to my senses: I'm not to work any more for the day. I set my sights on the being creative in the kitchen and prepare a mean meal for dinner.
