i think broaden your horizons is far and away the most important thing in writing. having said that, i haven't left the house in seven months.

Paula, you wild woman - way to live on the edge! LOL Both you and Wendy make a point. We do get sucked into our innermost circles a lot. I do. I'm breaking free Friday (today) to both work/play remotely and meet a girlfriend for lunch. It's as wild as we get sometimes. :)

Valerie, are you saying there's something wrong with stockpiles of lipstick and blush? ;) For me, it's DSW and shoes. We all have our vices. (where do you live? I feel group therapy coming on!)

Kim, same here. There are days I think I've molded into the shape of this chair. ;)

Great post, Anne. I completely agree with all of your points.

I'm getting better with #6. I think I could sit in front of the computer all day if I didn't have other obligations keeping me from slipping into a hermit-like existence. Thank goodness.

I was going to force myself to admit to #10, so thanks to the rest of you who were so brave. Retail therapy, anyone? My bathroom looks like a Sephora exploded in it. I think that's the very definite of frivolous.

I ignored #8 until the last 2 years. I don't think I realized how affirming and inspiring a network of fellow creatives can be - and now it's something I wish I had sought much sooner.

Great list!

Wendy's right. I also have a problem with #6. I ventured forth to the grocery store and bank today, and despite having gone out for lunch and to a knitting store* yesterday, it felt like I was playing hooky.

Many of us seem to have a sense of guilt when not stuck in front of the computer or on the phone for work. My guess is it's tied directly to #10. We need to be productive to earn enough money so we can splurge from time to time.

* disclaimer: I bought some circular needles and a hook I desperately need to finish some projects, but I used part of a gift certificate, so it felt like I spent money, but I really didn't.

I find myself committing #6 quite frequently. I guess it's a sign to restructure my time.

Wow. So we all have issues with finances? No shocker really, but it would be really neat to combine our talents to come up with a solid savings and tax-payment plan that would be a nice general template for other contractors.

Or we could all see accountants. LOL

Add a third for #10... working on it, working on it and it does help to repeat working on it. Fortunately I've quit demanding perfection of myself... couldn't figure out how I'd recognize it even if it showed up.

Good list Anna
