1. When you have the much awaited sequel readily handy.

2. When everyone else fucks off and keeps fucking off.

3. When you’re supposed to be spending quality time with your family.

4. When your cat is curled up next to you.

5. On a rainy day when you have no plans.

6. When you have the author hostage in easy whacking distance for emotionally tense scenes.

7.When there is house work to be done.

8. When it’s time to go to work.

9. When someone wants you to do something for just one sec. No, really, can you just hold this? Hello? Hello?

10. ANY GODDAMN TIME!
