Procrastination is one of the easiest yet most destructive things that we can do to ourselves. It harms us in many ways especially as writers. I am currently working on a novel that I am leaving unnamed at this point. This summer I said, "It will be done...It will be done."
It's not done by any stretch because I procrastinated on it. I did what had to be done and not much more. Sure it was more than most people would have done, but I know myself. I know what I can do. I did not accomplish it. I rationalized it. I told my self rational-lies. So now It will take me another year because I will be to busy working and trying to graduate school to finish the last two hundred pages. Sure the first hundred is done but now I need to procrastinate on my procrastination and get it done. At this point I should be giving you some really cool and interesting advice that is meant to inspire you and move you towards self actualization, but I cannot do that only you can. How bout a cliche instead. JUST DO IT.
