I'm not writing because I've been doing homework for my calculus-based statistics class for the past 2 hours. It is due in about 8 hours, but I intend to get some sleep between now and then.
I opened the floodgate and finally knocked out 2,400 words tonight. It's about damn time too. I've been trying to justify the paranormal thriller that I started three months ago. I finally said, the hell with it and went ahead with it.

I'm not writing because I'm too busy reading what you are writing here. Actually, I'm just waiting for the coffee.
I'm not writing at the moment because i'm having a break but I'll be going back to it in a moment 
good bit of writing done there, despite being interupted by my wife popping home for a cup of tea. didnt quite finish the scene i am in but i did hit my word count target. this scene is so important. its the bridge from the end of the middle to the begining of the end. probably finish it monday now, i never write on the weekends, to busy watching rugby.

I've just got a new job, in the last few days - thank God! - and my first thing to do, bloody marking! I am marking essays that I never set! Because the old lecturer buggered off! Shesus! Oh well, it's all pay and bad grammar.
Man, can not write all day. I usually write in 45 - 75 minute spurts. Do something else, then go back to writing.

I'm not writing because I'm at work. I'd much rather be writing right now. Blech. That, and I usually write at night...but this weekend I'm planning a marathon writing/painting session (I've got some stuff I need to finish painting in the next 3 weeks, so I'll be alternating between writing and painting) with a couple of trips to the gym in between. So much for housework...LOL
I'm taking a 4 day weekend next week -- $10 says I can knock out 20,000 words between now and next Monday! ;-)

Because if I write every waking hour of every day, I'll miss the fuel that stokes the writing--it's called living.

an acquaintance said to me once, writers write. i had to disagree as i belive as a writer i have to (as you said, fizz) live a bit and sometimes do nothing but think-muse as it were.

I'm really good at procrastination. First, must work at job that pays me. Next, must edit for freelance job that pays me. Third, must recuperate from all that work. Eating and sleeping and laundry fall in there too. Maybe next weekend? My writing goes in too-short spurts when opportunity presents itself and I manage to stop procrastinating. I love to write, but inspiration best comes when I'm too busy and have to really squeeze it in. Otherwise, it just sits patiently and waits. Foolish muse!
*Prods her muse* Wake up. Hey. Wakey-wakey...
*Muse responds with a pillow in the kisser, then goes back to sleep*
Anyone else have this problem?

That's a good question.
I have three days left of my vacation, so I need to really get to editing. But I have a job interview today. Plus, I just woke up so I'm still drinking my coffee. Those are my excuses.

I can certainly relate. I only get to write between paying obligations and familial/domestic obligations.
I just finished writing a scene, and now I'm meant to be walking the dog. I'd rather write a bit more though, so I'm putting off turning my computer off...
