Digressions!
I, Klara, Queen of Procrastion (by grace of myself), hereby declare myself Queen of Digressio. I will titulate myself Queen of the twin-queendoms of Procrastio and Digressio.

My article on Holberg now consist of equal parts of Josephus and Jacques Basnages.

*headdesk*

ETA: I have found the secret to drinking and writing! It isn't that I write faster *snort* or better *more snorting*, but I am no longer frustrated by the lack of progression. He.

You don't get more inspiration? I used to drink a bit when I was freelancing as a translator... Only when working though :-)

Sadly (?) no, I don't get inspired, or anything. Whe I was working on my thesis people kept recommending me to drink a glass or so of wine when I was stuck. Didn't work then, don't work now, except that it seems like I am able to write myself through parts that I find frustrating to write when slightly inebriated. The only thing that I've found that works is to talk. Drinking just makes me drunk ...

Never thought of translators as people who were in danger of alcoholism :)

Sorry for butting in but... I work with freelance translators all day long. Quite a few of them are... special. And now I know why. Hee! ;o)
