Procrastination

Hmm, such a big word and such a bigger mess it creates! I should be studying for my exam on Saturday. But I'm not. I'm blogging, reading other blogs (gotta stay caught up, don't I?), making out bills, decorating for Christmas, and even considering CLEANING instead of studying. The idea of working on my book or reading has not really occurred to me. Well, that's not ENTIRELY true. I did pick up a book of 3 short Christmas stories that I bought last year and never had a chance to read. (Found it in one of those boxes of decorations!) But, I promised myself I wouldn't even think about reading or writing until my hectic days were over and my Christmas shopping was done. We're probably looking at Saturday, December 17th. I say that because I'll be out of town for the holidays and that's the day I leave. I plan to have a very relaxing 2 weeks of reading and writing. Yeah, I just remembered that my mom and stepdad now have the computer hooked up in the house (they've only been living in it for a couple of years) so I'll be able to take my new WIP with me to work on! Well, those dishes won't get done with me sitting up here. Until next time I want to procrastinate...

Oh, I feel your pain and live it. The joys of procrastination.

I sometimes tell myself I procrastinate because my subconscious is working on the book behind the scenes. Think there's any validity to that?

I like that explanation, Jill!

Definitely procrastinating here, too. Must be the season. :)
