How Not To Complete A Deadline for Book Editing
- Spend a half hour in the morning looking at facebook
- Make appointments and sort through papers
- Take your dog to the dog park for an hour
- Run all the errands you can think of on the way home
- Have a snack and look at your email
- Clean the house
- Eat lunch and look online some more
- Sit down and write, download some critique you've already received
- Gloss over critique, get up and eat an orange with the dog
- Sit down, open up the draft and then, oh wait -
- Check the smoke conditions for the area
- Check to see if driving to Wyoming would be better than Montana this weekend
- Remember to check on a local coupon book
- Click on a link from the coupon site to home furniture
- Return to facebook, then pinterest, then....
- Growl at yourself and close down that browser window
- Get a text from husband, reply, reply...
- Find the papers you uncovered about your India trips in the paperwork this morning
- Read through papers, realize there's nothing new to add to the book
- Blog about how you haven't been editing
