Procrastination

Well, it seems like all my "writing" entries, meant to kick myself in the butt, will instead be about sitting on said butt. I think it's easier to write about writing, or write about not writing, than to just WRITE. So that's what I'll do.

Last night I got together with my writing fluster, err... "partner" for those who don't understand the lingo. We talked and laughed for a good three hours, which is fun and nice, but it isn't writing. And writing, if that wasn't clear, was the point of the get-together.

So my issue with myself is WHY can't I do what I'm supposed to do? I was supposed to study for finals over the weekend, instead I wrote tons and tons on a couple stories. Last night I was supposed to write, and instead I told dirty jokes and giggled. I guess it's kind of along the lines of taking the easy way out. It's easier to write fiction than study fact. It's easier to tell dumb jokes than to write.

And right now, when I should be Packing/Studying/Emailing an exam/Writing? I want to sit on my butt and watch Family Guy. Easiest way out? I certainly think so.
