Six Things I Did Today Instead of Writing
pro•cras•ti•nate (vi) to put off doing until a future time
1) Grocery shopping: This is one of those evil necessities that simply has to be done. Often the hubby will do it for me, but he’s in a loooonngg meeting today. Plus, I needed to pick something up in town anyway, and we were desperately low on food. But, while making the forty-minute drive, I did take mental notes for my current manuscript. That kind of counts as writing. Right?
2) Laundry: What can I say? If I don’t do it, we’d likely wear the same, smelly clothes every day.
3) Read Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. I really like the characters and the fact that it’s written in alternating chapters by the authors, Rachel Cohn and David Levitan. I just wanted to keep reading it…and so I did.
4) Ate the leftover Hershey’s Kisses my in-laws left behind after their weekend visit.
5) Fed the fire in the wood burning stove. This thing is my nemesis. Every time I turn around my work has been reduced to a pile of ash or a charred stump of a log. Seriously, the fire is a living, breathing, sentient thing trying to keep me from achieving my word-count goal.
6) Made a lengthy To-do list for the day. I only crossed off four things on the list. It is almost dinner time, and I have 36 things to go.
