Information
"When duty calls me, I'm prepared
As though our goals were aimed and shared.
I draw my breath in, shoulders straight,
And quietly procrastinate. (Alison W. Birch)

If we love to write-why do we PROCRASTINATE?
As a passionate playwright, I cannot tell you the number of plays I have started and not completed. There are many roads to production of these and the plays I have finished. Yet, I have not attempted any of them except the "sure thing", the 10 min. play production festivals in my hometown.
Are they good plays? Of course I and my shampoos think so. However, my shampoos think I sing Opera very well so I'm not too certain about them.
Am I a very busy person?
Am I a very lazy person?
Am I Attention Deficit?
What other external or internal difficulties are there?

You're welcome! :)
I thought I would post here: I did look into the book but am torn because of the reviews so far - I'm planning on doing Camp Nano and June Nano (Friday! This year is zooming!) and following your progress - if you both give it a thumbs up then I'll decide. Look forward to it. :)
Are either of you going to be participating in the Nanos or not this time around?

The book is called The 90 Day Novel by Sarah Domet. Why don't you pick up a copy and join us? ! It's going to be a week or 2 before my copy arrives so in the meantime I will be plotting and planning.......

Valerie, I agree with Edith ~ reading your posts about your progress is inspiring. What is the title of the book you're using? Just asking because it definitely sounds like something that would help light a fire under a procrastinator. lol! I'm also interested in the writing challenges you mentioned. Thanks for sharing this with us - I can't wait to hear/find out more. :)

Edith O Nuallain commented on the blog post 'Day 13 of of my 90 Day.Cutting the dull parts.'"Now this is interesting. Summary through dialogue rather than narrative -- way more interesting and lively! Love the photo. We are being drowned out here in Ireland and that beach looks so tempting! Edith x"
