Procrastinating - CAN'T STOP
It's 15:11. I have been up for over six hours, and haven't written anything. I have a plan to work on several short pieces this weekend, and continue planning the novel. I've got the files open with the short pieces. I look at them. I read them. Then I stop.
It is so incredibly frustrating. I don't really know why. In some ways that is the good thing when writing a first draft of a book - it's one continuous story, and so you keep going. But with shorter pieces, I find it much harder.
September has been over all disaster in terms of productivity. I really want last little bit of this month to be different.
Just thought I would rant publicly a bit. Now, I will attempt to get something useful out of this day. After I scream a bit. Or A LOT.

Where has the day gone?
Twelve hours ago, I planned that I would edit a short story, edit beginning of a novella and then do further work on that.
Twelve hours later...I am still editing the short story. It's not that it took me so long, but somehow, I spent less time on that story than million other things.
I surfed the net, social networking, read a book, and I even tidied my desk to perfection along with a neat little reference table on the side.
I hate days like these, because feeling of unproductivity just makes me feel crap!! Especially because I work full time, so if I waste weekends, they cut up on a lot of my writing time.
So I shall turn the negative around in a postive now - or at least half-positive. Once I post this, I am going away from my laptop (at least turning around to my desktop), and finishing that damn edit.
Tomorrow, I will have productivity oozing out of me. I hope...
