One of my buddies
sold a book to much fanfare.
Advance sales are high.
Studios are fighting over
the movie rights.
Her publisher, her agent,
the studios, hell, everyone
is waiting for book 2 in the series.
My buddy is writing an unrelated story.
She claims she’s working.
You and I know she’s procrastinating.
Procrastination is
“the act or habit of procrastinating,
or putting off or delaying,
especially something requiring immediate attention.”
For hard working folks like you and I,
procrastination usually takes the form
of shiny new projects.
We’re working hard
and that makes us feel better
about the procrastination
but it is still procrastination.
Stop dragging your heels.
Get that project done.
