Procastination Clarifies

Posted on 19 July 2010

I‘ve finally gotten three more chapters edited in my lesson two revision pass, and it’s become apparent that with just over 8 months separating my writing this from the time I’m editing this that my writing royally sucks.  This, I think, is what procrastination does.  It puts a separation between your writing and you and gives you clarity in evaluating your prose in return.

This is a good thing because I’m missing less in my revisions than I think I did on my lesson one revision pass at this point.

But the problem is I’m also procrastinating and its taking longer to make those revisions.  I’ve had a job for over a month now, meaning I have been off of my self-imposed exile into the land of job hunting since then, and I’m only three chapters beyond where I was then.

This will not do.  Time to set goals.  I want to be through three more chapters by this time next week.  Keep me honest, readers!
