Dismantle My Bed

Ms. Pacman.

Old school video games are oh so much cooler than this modern crap, and I’m not just saying that because I’m old and out of the loop. Tetris. Pac-man. Q*Bert. Rock.

So, when I need a real break, as opposed to the kind I usually take, filled with thinking and a guilty conscience due to my temporary lack of motivation, there is nothing quite like plug-and-play Ms. Pacman. It’s mind-numbing and kind of soothing, and if you get really good at it, it can help you postpone writing for quite some time!

Read.

Reading makes you a better writer, right? So why not do it instead? Brush up on other writer’s styles. Pick up a few new words. Enjoy a vacation from your own mind in the world’s of others.

And it is oh so much easier to read other peoples’ works than work on your own.
