A Writer’s Guide to Not Writing
Procrastination.
I don't know about you, but here are the five things I use the most to aid me in the art of Not Writing.
1. Pinterest
This one is tricky because you can still sort of convince yourself that you’re writing. If you pin stuff related to your novels, it’s much easier to allow yourself to continue not-writing.
2. Netflix
3. Tumblr (or your social media of choice)
I don't even think I need to elaborate.
4. Excuses
This can be anything from "Meh, you deserve a break," to, "You can write more later, just chill for right now."
5. The elusive "tomorrow."
Spoiler alert: It never happens.
I feel like Shia LaBeouf has a very good point. Be right back, I'm going to go make my dreams come true.
How about you? What's your #1 favorite way to procrastinate?

Yup! This post made me laugh. All of these are so very true. We love to procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteI love that Shia LaBeouf meme haha HE'S RIGHT DAMMIT. I do ALL THE THINGS EVER to procrastinate. Like, I can't even blame anything, because if I weren't watching TV shows, I'd be reading a book, and if I weren't reading a book, I'd be writing a post, replying to comments, commenting back, editing a video, or - and this is not an exaggeration - straight out stare at the wall to avoid doing the thing I should actually be doing. So, yes, I am very familiar with this concept :D
