Eyeballs

[primsong]

Why oh why does my ability to write hinge on whether or not someone is watching me? The horrible and inconvenient Power of the Eyeballs freezes my muse like a deer in the headlights, even if the person possessing the Eyeballs is not of the critical nature, or sometimes even really paying attention. Perhaps I need a hermitage in the hills just so I can finally finish all of my WIPs.

How do you deal with the Stare of Doom when trying to write?

Eurgh, yes. I can never write when there are people in the same room, let along watching me. :(

Amen, complete solitude works best, and even better it's complete *guaranteed* solitude - as in knowing no one will be back for at least a couple hours and I can settle in nicely instead of being afraid if I get going on a nice chunk of dialogue someone will come in and it will freeze up. X-(
