Things I Do When I Should Be Writing

Procrastination.  I know should be writing, but when I hit a wall, it becomes easier to occupy my mind with something else.  The harder I try to focus, the worse it gets.  I'll look for any excuse to get away from the keyboard.  If I just stick with it and keep my fingers typing, I can usually work through my writer's block. But instead I find ways to distract myself from the task at hand...

Like I might get the urge to play a little ball.

 















Go out for a bite.























Have a long soak in the tub.


















Try on snazzy new outfit.




Go for long walks in the park.

 

Or spend time with a friend.


















Then suddenly, I'll be dog tired.

















How do you procrastinate and what strategies do you use to get back to work?
