Not Writing, Despite Good Intentions

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

I can say I am going to spend the day writing, and then I can spend an hour searching the Internet for an article I might have read back in November about how to write a novel in your spare time and end up on Amazon.com buying books (again) that might or might not have something to do with the novel I am going to write.

Meanwhile? Not one word towards the novel has come out of my fingertips.

Procrastination. Gluttony (who can resist the siren call of Amazon’s web site, urging the addition of just $1.14 more to qualify for super saver shipping?). Doesn’t seem like the most fortuitous way to write a novel, particularly in Lent.
