For some reason while writing this book I took to listening to Def Leppard’s Slang on repeat for hours. I have probably been through these songs as many times as the band thanks to that and I still have something of a Pavlovian response to it. Whenever I am stuck or having trouble getting started, I put on Slang and pretty soon it’s three hours later, I’ve exceeded my day’s words count and I have to pee like a racehorse, but my butt is numb because I haven’t moved from my chair in so long. TMI?
Thanks for giving me a laugh this morning! And I’ll have to give Slang a try–I’m the Queen of Writing Procrastination.
I’ve got all my badges in procrastination too. I don’t know why that particular album works for me, but it does.
