Hey Guys, long time, no see.

So I was just wondering how many of you authors/authors-in-training procrastinate, and how much and to what degree?

What are ways you fix this?

Can I get back to you on that?  8)

Cooper:
Me is school, the college literary journal, and the family business getting in the way.  My way of fixing it is go to Borders and write while listening to orchestral music.

I think you're my twin.  And yes, I procrastinate like if I procrastinate enough someone will give me a prize.

Kali:
I often think this is real difference between professional writers and wanna-bes. 

Professionals procrastinate writing the next chapter by writing queries or outlines for the next book or doing the edits from the last book. 

Wanna-bes (sorta like me) procrastinate by reading email and watching that episode of "Chuck" they missed and cleaning out the 'fridge.
