The professional [writer] is on a mission. He will not tolerate disorder. He eliminates chaos from his world in order to banish it from his mind. He wants the carpet vacuumed and the threshold swept, so the Muse may enter and not soil her gown.I aspire to such order — deeply — but my own pack-rat nature as well as my peripatetic life conspire against me.
--from The War of Art by Steven Pressfield

There's another name for that time of order and cleanliness--procrastination.
Mr. Pressfield and I clearly know different writers.
Lilian and Debi, you have a point!
