Some of these may sound ridiculous, but my solutions: -Have two or three (or more!) people who are willing to be in IM with you while you write your paper/assignment/etc. [I wrote an entire 25+ paper in IM one lovely winter.] -Have a list of things you're willing to write or ask those people (or DW! tumblr, whatever people) to prompt you. -Have writtenkitten.com or writeordie.com open if they work for you, or write the entire paper in chat to those people. -Keep at least one person who's willing to review work for you (again, can be the people willing to be in IM) -Reward system: I get an hour of television/a movie/a break to bake cookies if I get the first draft done -Don't be afraid to ask people to hold you accountable to time constraints.
