Procrastination

A gloriously long day. Nothing planned except writing. All day if I so wish.

But what do I do...?

A dark load, clear through piles of admin, file and recycle. Next I prepare a homemade veggie soup, then make a cup of tea, I read a couple of articles, stare out the window at the gloomy sky and study the rain spatters on the window.

Somewhere around 3.45 I finally switch on the laptop. 3.45pm!!!

Then guess what I do? Yes, you got it - faff around with emails, web browsing, Facebook.

It's now 4.50pm. By the time I get cracking and get on a roll it'll be bedtime but then I'll be in the groove and end up having a late night.

I swear I was more productive when I commuted to central London, worked long hours and partied hard than I am now that I have 'all the time in the world' to write.

I eventually started around 8pm after some blogging, a trip to my mum's, dinner and other faffing around.
