Getting SOMEthing done is better than getting nothing done.<br /><br />Shelly, me, too! When I make myself sit down, I get a ton done.<br /><br />E.J., that's how I feel, too. If I've got a stretch of time, I can get so much done.<br /><br />Julie, haha, yes! I didn't think of it that way, but that is so me, too. "If you put the dishes away, you must also clean the kitchen counters; if you clean the kitchen counters, you will inevitably find an item that must be put away in your bedroom; if you go to your bedroom to put the item away, you will remember that you wanted to organize the closet; if you start organizing the closet...yadda yadda yadda.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-52380822782157466982013-11-07T16:16:27.528-07:002013-11-07T16:16:27.528-07:00Yes, I wish that I could also find a way to "...Yes, I wish that I could also find a way to "seize that (writing) time."

Now to just be able to embrace that thought process.<br /><br />Julie F., me, too! There has to be a way to defeat that thought process. If I ever figure it out, I'll make millions. ;)<br /><br />Julie L., that's just what I fear, getting started and just getting into it and finding it's time to stop. Frustrating.<br /><br />Sandy, that's fantastic! Keep that momentum going!<br /><br />CD, interesting! I do think if I found a workable schedule that didn't change every day I would do better.<br /><br />Donna, I'm a terrible procrastinator, too.<br /><br />Susan, big chunks of time work best for me, too.

Lol....however, I signed up for a Halloween hop and decided based on a picture I saw over on FB instantly...what my story would be and how it was going to be. I had so much fun putting it together, and actually looked forward to finding the time to work on it. It encouraged me to want to write another story.
