When I ...I definitely have procrastination issues. When I write, nothing else gets done. I can sit at the computer for hours and put out as many as 30 pages per day on a first draft. It's a commitment. So, my problem is finding time to make such a commitment. I won't work on my next project until I know I can devote my whole life to it (which probably means waiting until next winter).Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618598756518215871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-19051786299337399732010-05-19T11:35:52.942-04:002010-05-19T11:35:52.942-04:00Same problem here.

I started making a running list of all my ideas and I also forced myself to make an active list of the 2-3 things I'm working on (as well as a daily to-do list). I'm a bit of a list person, but it has helped me complete a few projects. Inspiration came when I realized (like the quote you included says) life is slipping by at a fast clip.Regina Quentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541489650098107512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-80224194184112074782010-05-19T11:31:45.519-04:002010-05-19T11:31:45.519-04:00Ha ha!

IT is so much easier for me to do a Childrens PB than to write a novel and finish it or go back and edit it. I will. You will see. I will get to it. While I am saying that though, have a little laugh with me and repeat this three times "I will expend more effort." LOL. Just don't take a nap after you say it. Hee hee! Oh and thanks for the follow.

The problem with stopping is that it's hard to start up again...yeah. <br /><br />So I've been doing some beta reading--fun!!!! It helps me get inspired and I feel productive at the same time. Plus, I get to share in someone's creative endeavor. So cool.<br /><br />My plan is to actually schedule writing time in. Seriously, write it in my day planner. Saturday--write!!! (Well, more like revise, LOL!) <br /><br />Great post! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-65659645702668942902010-05-19T10:34:58.789-04:002010-05-19T10:34:58.789-04:00LOL the same person I talk about everything else w...LOL the same person I talk about everything else with :D *hugs!*Michelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-61663702470170803752010-05-19T10:24:48.910-04:002010-05-19T10:24:48.910-04:00Hmm...let me guess who you were talking to about L...Hmm...let me guess who you were talking to about LONG BREAKS ;DChristine Fonsecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986034666903054819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-11179122582482026532010-05-19T09:17:47.798-04:002010-05-19T09:17:47.798-04:00Time really does go way too fast, doesn't it? ...Time really does go way too fast, doesn't it?

I'll say, "Oh, I'll do the laundry after I do one more revision" or "I'll vacuum after one more chapter."
