Procrastination October 25, 2006

I can’t remember where I saw that but, crumbs, I am surely the crowned monarch of Putting Things Off. Well, not all things, to be fair, just the important ones. Like writing the rest of my novel, for example. I promised that I would have two weeks’ r&r after the final coursework was submitted and then I’d get stuck in. Stuck in good and proper, in fact. I even have this week off and have I done anything constructive? Nope.
Unless you count my listing clothes that no longer fit me on eBay. That was kind of creative, especially if anyone wants to buy clothes that are described as ‘cuddlesome’ or ’sort of an Angel Delight colour’. Thought not.
Tomorrow it is then. I will send off my shorties* to some magazines in a bid to get them published. As research during A215, lovely bf went through a phase of buying lots of those ‘Take a Break’ type mags. As research, I’m stressing here. Not for entertainment or suchlike. God, I have to say, they are truly bloody awful. If they like printing total rubbish and it’s what they really want, believe me I have PLENTY!
Tomorrow it is then… eek, the same day as I’m starting my diet. What bad timing eh?
* Shorties being short stories. Not pants. Well, they are pants. The stories, I mean. But not actual pants. Oh dear. You know what I mean. Don’t you??
