Kibitzing does help, quite a lot. I have trouble setting rigid limits on my computer time of any sort, and worse with my writing, but I keep trying to figure out if there's a way to do it that will stick for me.
Asking the stories to help me write their siblings fits into my mental framework beautifully. I no longer have the mental relationship with Aldo that lets me tell him, "Please don't let me talk to you or Gerard until 5 pm," and have it stick, but that kind of personification works well for me. Thanks!
