Happy Wednesday!
My goal for Round 3 of A Round of Words in 80 Days is to write another 10,000 words on my unfinished fantasy manuscript. That averages to 125 words a day. I’ve written nothing new this month.
Goal: 10,000 Words
Words Written: 1204
Progress: Behind But Can Still Catch Up
What are your favorite ways to procrastinate from writing? I found myself with a free evening last night. I even told my husband I was going to write.
Instead, I spent time on my desktop (it’s older and needs some more memory so it takes a long time to do stuff on it). Let’s count the ways in which I procrastinated:
- Downloaded pictures from my digital camera.
- Listened to old favorites on iTunes and listened to samples of new music.
- Updated Quicken.
- Emailed all of the recognizable ebook files to be added to my Kindle.
- Synched up my smart phone.
- Charged and synched up my mini iPod.
- Added the ebook titles into my LibraryThing collection.
- Updated my Niteblade interview spreadsheet.
Four hours gone and not a written word. And I still had things I could do to procrastinate. I guess I’ll do them in a few days. How are you doing on your ROW80 or writing goal?
Amber, you’re almost as good at procrastinating as I am! 😉 I do laundry, bake like nobody’s business, and clean up paper and electronic files.
Seriously, maybe you need a break–it happens. It doesn’t seem as though you’re beating yourself up, but if you were, don’t. You’ll get back in the groove.
I hope you find your pace and have a great week!
You sound like a master procrastinator like me! Sometimes the best way to motivate myself to do everything else is to sit down and try to focus. 😉
Good luck on accumulating more words. Thanks for sharing this. It made me feel less alone in my ability to flitter from one thing to another.
