Getting Back on Track

All right, this is going to be a short one. I'm still coming out of a NyQuil induced coma. I was sure I was getting a cold yesterday but I think I fought it off. I don't feel sick anymore, but I'm still a little out of it. I was supposed to start my monthly book reviews today, but I've decided to push them to Friday. Yes, partly because I procrastinated and don't have them done. Partly. There are several other reasons, and I just think Friday is a better day to post that sort of thing. Anyway, moving on!

I don't remember the last time I worked on editing. It's probably been about two weeks. What have I been doing instead? That's a very good question. Lots of cooking and cleaning my apartment, a little reading, but all in all, I haven't been all that productive. I know I need to try harder, and stop avoiding things that I don't want to work on. I really, really, really need to work on my book every day if I ever want to get it done.

So that's what I'm going to do now. Stop procrastinating and get some stuff done!

    You can do it!

    Hope you feel better soon and don't get truly sick.

    That's the same thing I need to tell myself! And like Loni said, YOU CAN DO IT! Glad you're feeling better. :)

    I echo your worries. I too wish I could work on my book every day. One thing I've started doing is jotting phrases from the scene here and there, and sometimes that leads to a full on writing session. I try to do it in a noncommittal sort of way by writing it by hand in my journal. When I was what I believed to be in my "worst slump" I suddenly flushed out 8K words! P.S. Feel better soon!

    I find that I procrastinate the most when I actually need to rest. So maybe that's what you needed, especially since you though you were getting a cold. I tend to get colds when I'm overworking myself.

    Feel better! :)

    Definitely get some stuff done! Being sick really does slow you down though, so don't beat yourself up over it. I have a tendency to push too hard, run myself into the ground, and just keep running. Eventually my body kicks me in the brain and I end up on bed rest. Not a great place to be. I need to figure out how to take it easier. Any tips? ;)
