Procrastination

So...I'm guilty. Guilty of Procrastination to the first degree. And the real problem is that I don't know the reason why I'm procrastinating; why I'm not writing. Part of me thinks it is a comfort thing. Do you ever get like this? Do the things you do while procrastinating have a common theme?

My tasks center around giving me order, organization:

1.) Organizing my Pinterest writing boards. This used to be just one board and now the count is 14 PLUS 6 secret boards.

YAY! My Pinterest! Follow Me!

2.) Knitting. Though my fingers end up hurting like a bitch, the process of looping the yarn about the needle over and over is very therapeutic. Here's my current project - an infinity scarf. I've got a long way to go!

3.) Plotting out and making lists for all my characters and stories. I'm talking all the nitty gritty stuff - dates, jobs, history, etc. And then I've been making spreadsheets.  LOTS and LOTS of spreadsheets. Along with LOTS and LOTS of lists. Not only that - I've been hitting up the office supply shops to make sure each story has its own unique binder. (SEE - total procrastination!)

4.) So not going to tell you what I've done with my Goodreads (added all 400 plus books from my e-reader to my shelves) or my Facebook (made Interests lists and sorted all my liked pages into all the lists). 

5.) I used to write all my stories in notebooks and then type them up in Word. But then I got Scrivener for my birthday (as well as a present for completing NaNoWriMo this year) and I love it and want all my stories in there. So what did I do? Yep, you guessed it.

6.) I also have been messing with a character profile template for Scrivener. I hope to share that at some point. I'd do it now, but I keep tweaking it.

7.) Oh...I've been playing Bingo on Facebook. GOD, how old am I? I am not old. Seriously, but knitting, Bingo...I really need a kick in the ass.

Okay...done with this list (I think...maybe I'll go play bingo).  NO! I'm going back to writing. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.
