I do all my projects while chatting on yahoo messenger. It helps keep me at my desk, and feeling less isolated. That way, I don't wander aimlessly around the apartment when I want diversion. That and I am doing a couple of projects with people over the net, so we talk about the projects and stuff. But I do a lot more than just writing, so that might not apply to you.

It's really funny, I actually get more actual work done when I do it this way!
