What I can't resolve is how much I mess about putting off writing, when I actually enjoy it when I get down to it - I can't quite work out the logic in that!JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-60462534053402372502010-11-10T06:26:08.259-08:002010-11-10T06:26:08.259-08:00Ah, I know the feeling!

I think it's that dangerous mind set of 'but I have all the time in the world...!'<br /><br />To get past this, I think mini goal-setting is quite useful. Even if it's just saying 'I'll write at least 100 words a day'. Because then, if you have a string of ten days where you can't shake the procrastination, if you at least write 100 words a day, you'll at least have 1000 words at the end of the period - which is better than nothing!<br /><br />(Now only if I followed my own advice...)Sophie Playlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937622260333202138noreply@blogger.com
