Your friend and/or beta reader wants to see the next story/section. You haven't written it yet. eek What do you tell them?

And what do you tell yourself?

See, for a long time, I convinced myself that I could only write when it was absolutely quiet in the house. And while I had regular quiet periods, that worked fine -- at those times I was pretty good about sitting down at the keyboard and being able to write. But when my younger child stopped taking naps, and my husband began working from home... my quiet time pretty much disappeared. So, I figured I couldn't write anything. smile1

So I was just wondering if I'm the only one who says, "Oh, I can't write because _____ " and what some other excuses would be! (Who knows, I may need to use them sometime goofy )
