\"ROW80<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n

My goal for Round 3 of A Round of Words in 80 Days<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Goal: 10,000 Words
\nWords Written: 1204
\nProgress: Behind But Can Still Catch Up<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Downloaded pictures from my digital camera.<\/li>\n
  2. Listened to old favorites on iTunes and listened to samples of\u00c2\u00a0new music.<\/li>\n
  3. Updated Quicken.<\/li>\n
  4. Emailed all of the recognizable ebook files to be added to my Kindle.<\/li>\n
  5. Synched up my smart phone.<\/li>\n
  6. Charged and synched up my mini iPod.<\/li>\n
  7. Added the ebook titles into my LibraryThing collection<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. Updated my Niteblade<\/a><\/em> interview spreadsheet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Four hours gone and not a written word. And I still had things I could do to procrastinate.\u00c2\u00a0I guess I’ll\u00c2\u00a0do them in a few days.\u00c2\u00a0How are you doing on your ROW80 or writing goal?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
