How many ways can I distract myself from writing?
First of all, I would like to point out that I am not a natural procrastinator. I have plans, to-do lists, priority lists; essentially, everything possible to keep a person on track. However, I have been editing the same manuscript for months! Actually, it will soon be a year.
It has been a very productive year and the editing process is one that I (desperately hope) am now much better at. The problem is that I keep learning more about how to make my manuscript better. And isn't that worth going for? However, after going over the same words again and again, I am now a little sick of them.
Instead of answering these questions, I have allowed myself to get distracted by a multitude of different things. Emails, Facebook, unrelated first drafts, enquiries to different organisations, podcasts and now, even my blog have all distracted me today.
I think this calls for an internet blackout. Get ready people, it will happen in three, two, ………….
Well, hope this doesn't distract you 🙂 but hang in there. Feeling your pain I promise!
