Making enough $$ at writing to actually pay taxes: priceless.

I can't say there is any cure to procrastination. I wish there was though. Hooboy. I'd get loads more work done.

Not when you make a sale in country A where the mechanisms for paying tax on foreign sales assume you live in country B and you actually live in country C and so the money for the sale hangs indefinitely in limbo because nobody will back down on which documentation is needed where.

That sounds confusing, and aggravating, to boot.

In regards to your post, Kero319, I've been trying to use this tactic as well, but it's a bit tricky with my daily schedule. However, I do note I seem to make time whenever a plot angle, dialog, or any sort of idea pops in my head. ;D I have to start somewhere!

I've taken to keeping a pack of blank notecards and at least two pens on me at all times, as well as writing in two different hard-copy journals (one for random writing stuff, the other for more traditional "this is what I think and feel about this event in my life" sort of writing). If ideas occur to me, I can jot them down on the spot.
The voice-recorder function on my cell phone is too complicated to use when an idea is in my head, saying that if I don't write it down IMMEDIATELY there's some poor starving writer in a different time zone who'll be perfectly happy to turn the idea into a book.
Not to mention the fact that I can't stand the sound of my voice when it's recorded. It's always so different from what I hear directly...
