I have been adding to it almost every day, but I have also started on another project as well. (I think it's going to be just a short story.)<br /><br />In the past, I was always a procrastinator--so much so that my father gave me the nickname of "Ben", for "Ben-puttin'-it-off"...but lately, I have been doing very well at not falling back in to that old habit again. I am really proud of myself.<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions on how I should schedule myself? What does a normal schedule look like?<br /><br />I sure do appreciate your help, Carolyn. If you're too busy to get in to this, just say so and I'll understand, OK? No problem. <br /><br />By the way...would you ever consider being on my blog for a Guest Interview and/or as a Guest Blogger? I would be so <i>honored</i> if you would! Think about it and let me know when you decide, OK? Thanks.<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />Cynde<br /><a href="http://cyndes-got-the-write-stuff.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Cynde's Got The Write Stuff</a>Cynde L.

I view the day like a pile of pancakes. In the morning the stack is very short (the pancakes being the interruptions that need to be taken care of, not the ones you can ignore; its not so hard to get the writing done. But as the stack gets taller (the child who broke his thumb, the accidentally locking yourself out of the house, the flat tire on the way to the store) there's no getting back to the computer.Deborah Talmadgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468409806638834635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34977952.post-84877646964670084692009-08-04T08:56:12.502-04:002009-08-04T08:56:12.502-04:00This is kind of horrifying to me.

As you know, I'm so stuck in procrastinating.<br />This post is really informative and tells me that I need to work on goals and working hard now, to make it a habit, if I ever hope to be published.<br />Difficult advice for a slacker, but very much appreciated!<br /><br />Also, I'm exhausted just reading about all the constant research and fact-checking you've had to do.Annie Loudenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008836459417708235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34977952.post-2715079908483867912009-08-04T00:23:31.719-04:002009-08-04T00:23:31.719-04:00Sounds like you have good plan...and BTW - love t...Sounds like you have good plan...and BTW - love the picture/graphic thingChristine Fonsecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986034666903054819noreply@blogger.com
