Today's assignment from the Muse is actually a tip. I'll post it below:
Notice from the Department of Procrastination Prevention
The top-performing item in my store of procrastination-prevention equipment is the humble egg timer. I use a cheap wind-up model--you can literally hear it through my studio door--but after a minute or so I fail to notice the ticking. Set the timer for anywhere from the minimum to the maximum, open your laptop or writing pad, and play a game of Beat the Clock. Whether you set a modest goal of one sentence or an ambitious goal of one thousand words, chances are you'll have something underway by he time the dinger goes off.
Monica Wood, the author of the Muse, is pretty neat. She's a published author of a fair few fictional works, and she keeps a decently laid out homepage for our perusal:

Take a look! While you do that, I'm going to try and sleep away my head cold.
