"Why?"
"Because I'm magic now."
"How?"
"Because I said so. Duh."

Close up of my fresh manicure. Nails are alternating purple background with white centralized dotted line & vice versa.

Needed to distract myself from writing for awhile. Could be neater but still like them. 💅

A gray day...the weather can't make up it's mind about whether to rain or snow. A good day for popping a batch of scones into the oven.

Black hole made in Blender instead of writing.

I admit the procrastination may have gone a little far now.

Morning campers. I should be writing but I’m so cold I’m sitting indoors with my coat on, trying to warm up with social media distractions & tea. The heating is on.

I just wanna be silly and write but also can’t find the willpower to do either at the moment

Nothing like a rejected Berkley ARC request to remind you that your socials are a hot mess express of neglect. 🥲 #amnotreading #shouldbewriting

I’m procrastinating by taking arty pictures of my books. #books #shouldbewriting

I should have spent my time writing actual words in my WIP, but instead I came up with neighboring businesses & their owners, a little backstory for the town, & an idea for book 2....ya know, if I ever get my ass in gear and actually finish book 1. #amwriting or maybe that's #ShouldBeWriting

I only have 3 chapters left to finish this revision—just typing! The hard part is done—so why am I still scrolling?!?!

Laundry in the works.
Ribs prepped last night for flavorful cooking later.
Cole slaw slawing. Or coling.
Whatever.
Dishes washed.
Tub scrubbed.
Procrastination level: Expert!

I really wanted a donut this morning. Specifically, a maple bar. I'm drinking a protein shake, but I really wanted a donut.

With all the insanity happening in the world, how have I become this engrossed in the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni drama? #distractions #drama #shouldbewriting

A roasting pan filled with halved tomatoes, roasted until soft and caramelized, with juices pooling at the bottom. The tomatoes are arranged cut side up, showing charred edges and a rich, deep red color. The pan has a seasoned, darkened surface, sitting on a gas stovetop.

Tomato Confit, fresh from the oven.

I'm trying to convince myself to work on my WIP and pretend the world outside isn't an absolute dumpster fire, but it's rough going. Distractions run amok. What's everyone doing to stay focused these days?

Sent back my final proof pages to my publisher last night. Wrote some urgent letters this morning. Now I'm going to color for a bit because sometimes I just have to hang out in my own head.

You know, if I really focus, I can damn well get WIP Draft 2 finished today.

Focus. Put the iPad down, and focus.

Loads of reading and writing to do as I realised I need to read more chapters of a book which in turn may change how I interact with it and create more further reading so guaranteed that today is the day I get an ear infection. 🤦‍♀️ I #PhDlife #ShouldBeWriting

Not so deep thoughts while procrastinating. #shouldbewriting

I went over my #wip with some coloured pencils to boost the warmth and colours.

One day I will learn to not overwork a piece but today is not that day!

Goal for today. Go to bed soon after my Italian lesson so that I can get up early tomorrow, raving to go and ready to write.

My apple tree doesn’t ripen until mid November. We still have a lot of apples left. Time for another apple pie! Then maybe apple sauce and do some canning. 🥧🍎 #ShouldBeWriting #WritersProcrastination #ThatBookWontWriteItself
