Procrastination R Us

Filed under: Writing - Ric @ 8:01 pm

Procrastination n 1: the act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or deferring an action to a later time 2: slowness as a consequence of not getting around to it. This is were I’m at. This is the neighbourhood where I live at the corner of ShillyShally Ave. and Cunctation St. The cup of my dilatoriness runeth over, slowly, but over nonetheless.

…Memo to me, get on with it….

I can’t seem to get into gear on any new undertakings. I’m trying my best to gear up for NaNoWriMo but I’m bored. The book said this would happen. The book said that It’s the tell tale sign of the “pre-creative urge”. If you ask me it’s just annoying.

I spent the day at home. Sick. Wife is sick too. I had a vast resevoir of time with which to do something. Write an outline. Do some character bios. Think about a plot line. But did I make use of any of that resevoir? Nope. I let the resevoir go to the dogs.

I spent the day fiddling with fiddly bits. Update some HTML here, change a logging parameter on a router there, surf a few blogs here and there. Fiddling. Time burned away, and at the close of the day? Nothing to show.

Memo to me, get on with it.

    Likewise my man, I have been doing dishes. I also have an exhibition coming up. That means I should clear out the recycling bin. Or maybe organize the pillows on my bed.

    Pre-creative? Grunt.
