How to procrastinate like a BOSS
I am supposed to be working on 2 writing projects at this exact moment, yet here I am online, checking out Facebook and clicking on any random link.
I should be totally panicked, but I'm not. One assignment is due tomorrow and I'm 2000 words shy of the being finished and I'm not sure that I love it. I don't have time to send it to a friend to proof. Why am not freaking out? I'm sure that will come at some point today if I don't get it done.
I want this assignment to be perfect. But at this point perfect is not going to happen.

Sorry I got distracted. I was looking up the benefits of sauerkraut. Success though, I did find the raw sauerkraut I was looking for. It's dill and garlic flavored. (sidebar: write a food blog post about this deliciousness!)
Lately writing has felt like a chore.

Ooops. I just had this nagging feeling about people who were following me on Twitter.
I'm back. I had a little distraction. My mind is thinking about other life related things that I have been avoiding, like taxes and bills. But this stream of consciousness writing is helping.
4 hours later...
I am no further ahead.

Wow, that was a big one.

Ok, back on track. Really this time. It's the end of the year and again I am cleaning up my online world. My goal is to have no more Drafts left in my posts file. That will explain the random posts that are appearing now. Apologies, but I did set up this blog to share my writing woes, the good and the bad. So this is my bad. Hopefully in 2016 I will be better disciplined.
