Pamela, I can relate to SOOO much of this! I too, "continuously pace, walking around the house when talking on the phone," and, "Now that I am “retired,” I am busier than ever." I'm finding, though, that I have to get most of those distractions out of the way before I sit down to write, because once I start I can't tear myself away. I need to set a timer to get up and stretch once an hour because if I don't, 5 hours will have gone by, I won't have eaten, and I'll be so stiff I can barely stand up and walk!
