Procrastination Averted!

Here it is.

It\’s taken me all day to get this far. I chose a user name, created the blog and updated the formatting over the course of 6 hours. Finally, I\’m writing. Procrastination wins again, for a little while anyway.

I\’ve discovered something very important about my procrastination. I will only procrastinate a specific thing until something comes along that\’s more daunting or necessary. I began creating this blog to put off working on DIFTY (my novel). Then I put off completing the blog to get school work together. Now that I have all of my books for class here beside me, I\’ve put them off to write this blog. See how that works?

This is a fantastic discovery for me. This means all I have to do is find something less enjoyable that needs to be done. The less enjoyable thing will propel me towards the thing I really need to get done… writing!

Well, that\’s how it should work … in theory.
