I usually work for a couple hours in the morning in my pajamas then, when I start to feel slack, i switch to jeans and a t-shirt. You're right, dressing the part helps. And it makes it much less easier to crawl back into bed with the laptop. =) On a separate note, I just found a bunch of useful articles on business stuff directed at freelancers in the UK: http://www.freelanceuk.com/running_business/index.shtml Laurie, I SO know what you mean.

People joke that writers and other stay-at-home entrepreneurs can wear their pajamas to work......and they can, but they may not feel professional! Me, I wear a baggy sweatshirt and comfy leggings - but that's not business attire. I don't know if I'd be more successful if I wore business-like clothes, but I believe I'd be less successful if I wore pj's and snuggled with my laptop in bed. I think writers need to surround themselves with professional things - and that includes clothes! Another way to treat your writing career like a business is to dress the part.
