Tokyo, Procrastination
A procrastinator's dilemma
Published on December 15, 2004 By momijiki In Blogging
If I'm going to be be on time for soccer, I should probably leave now. Thanks god for soccer socks which are long and that means that I don't have to worry about shaving my legs. Then again my team-mates couldn't care less I'm sure. I could whip through dishes and be out the door by 7:30. I feel sick though because the post-office called me and asked me questions about the money order I sent A WEEK after I sent it. I know I have the angry tone for speaking Japanese down to a T, but I have no idea if the problem is solved or not.


But I've been sitting thinking about how to continue my book for most of the day. I reread it and rather than thinking about what these characters are going to do next, I'm obsessing about rewriting the whole thing in first person and reorganizing the plot. This will be necessary in the long run anyway. I have three months (self-imposed deadline) to finish.

Ack! Is this writer's block? I am going to have to smack my character over the head with a sponge bat and get her to stop whining and to start doing something. Hah! Take that lazy character! And that, and that and that! HA ha haaa!

Ok, I will go to socc

Sounds like writer's doubt. Talking about it to or getting reliable feedback from someone you can trust might help.

Good luck on it.

Thanks. Friends have said it was interesting. My mom and aunt (from small town Saskatchewan) said that I was way off on the small town being a gossip mill thing, though. I think they have glorified the experience somewhat.
