Okay…I’m going to spend the rest of the afternoon working on my series proposal. It shouldn’t be too hard…I’m still excited about this proposal and the writing is going well.

Here’s a list of things I’m NOT going to do this afternoon because I’m going to be working on my series proposal:

1) coming up with a name for our girl band…we’ve got our first public performance two weeks from tomorrow and we don’t have a name for ourselves! We will NOT be known as the “Estrogen Strings!” Two of us are quitting before that happens.

2) writing a new speech so I can compete in our Toastmaster’s humorous speech contest next week…that would be crazy because right now we have no other contestants. So if I compete, I will likely advance to the area contest.

3) checking out the dogs available for adoption from area rescue groups…despite what I told myself when I did it this morning, this is NOT research for my series proposal.

4) taking a bike ride…I jogged this morning; I do not need a bike ride right now.

5) keep thinking of things I will NOT do this afternoon instead of work on my series proposal.

My promise to myself

    Haha! I am thinking of things I won’t do instead of revising my manuscript. I’d better turn off my computer. Get to work!

      So I’m not the only procrastinator in the world??? 🙂

      It’s amazing how much more I can get done if my word processing program is the only thing up on my computer.
