It's been five years...let's see, that's 1,825 days of torture! 1,825 of laying my head down on the pillow acknowledging that another day has passed with very little or no progress on my manuscript.
Every celebrity on the planet has published a book! Now one of my classmates from high school has even finished his 3rd or 4th book. What the hell is wrong with me? I know what you're thinking...with all the problems in today's world, mine is a 'high class' problem. You're right, but its a ball and chain that has bruised my ankles, scratched my hardwood floors to a pulp, and sent me to the chiropracter for curvature of the spine!
In a desperate, but less than subtle attempt to divert my attention from the project at hand, and to ameliorate my bleeding ego, I'm going to share my strategies of avoidance with all those poor souls out there who are trying to write as well.
Tip #1 Make a daily list of chores. Include WRITING. Mark off tasks as they are completed.
Here's a sample of mine:
1. Write
2. Exercise. completed
3. Pay bills. completed
4.Take Dog for a walk.completed
5.Unload dishwasher.completed
6.Clean out wallet.completed
Need I point out which item was left in the lurch?!
Here's to between the lines and happy writing,
Lee Ann
