What do you mean I'm procrastinating preparing for teaching tonight?
No, I'm pretty sure right now is the proper time to clean several years' worth of fuzz out from between my keyboard keys. 😅
This is important work.

My book, like the dinosaurs, is battling extinction. But like the dinosaurs in said book, #TyrantReptileRevengening is about to make an epic comeback... I hope.

There are no Andys in the future There are no Nigels too You'll struggle to locate a Lisa Of Daves there are but two Somehow there are loads of Romans And Greeks there a barrel Of Jacks there are a million But you will not find a Darrell How do we show the strangeness Of a far flung alien nation? Easy peasy, so they say Just add some punctuation
There's always tons of z's and q's And x's there are many So welcome High Lord Q'exizetle And goodbye Captain Benny So sorry Tiff, and Mike, and June We will not see the stars At best we get to hang out In some thrillers hotel bars No, there are no Andys in the future My name it is too dull But damn I want to be in stories Might change my name to Krull

About to get some writing in, but I'm procrastinating so hard. Ugh. Not feeling it. Thankful for a writing practice cos motivation would NOT propel me tonight. LOL!

are not well served by being in a high-touch zone, and tbh if I reread any of these except the Shellabargers it'd be in audio or ebook format. Now I have several shelves that can house taller hardbacks. Hmm... I see a reordering of OE philology in my future. #booktetris #amprocrastinating
Definitely haven’t been using my poor sleep this week as an excuse for procrastinating on my writing. Nope, not at all. 😅

How does everyone keep their writing space clean and functional?
I know the answer is "Be an adult and clean up after yourself!" but there has got to be a better way!

#amwriting aren't I? more like #amprocrastinating and succeeding.
I feel like a bit of an anomaly here in beautiful Ireland. The sun comes out, and I'm iced everything—iced coffee, ice in my water, ice in my soda. Yeah, I know it's 17C out, but that's like the surface of the sun to me.

To be fair, I wouldn't be able to make direct eye contact with a shirtless Orion either. Though it's a view many might "appreciate", it sets a pretty awkward tone for conversation.

Once again procrastinated the main plot to write Alastair and Elias watching a movie about themselves while drinking and talking about their past together. Year 3, not Year 1... #WritingCommunity #Writers #AmWriting #AmProcrastinating
I just saying... If the universe wanted me to exercise, it wouldn't be throwing lightning bolts at me. Right? Coffee it is.

A #retrogames related final note before I go back to editing, involving my #Atari7800+. I just ordered the available #Atari7800 games that I don't have: Berzerk, Frenzy, Asteroids Deluxe, and Space Duel. Just the thing to make #amprocrastinating fun, at least as long as I don't get too agitated...
I'm back, and I can explain my absence: a mix of #amediting and #amprocrastinating. Fortunately I've been doing a lot more editing in the last few days.
Okay, #BookSky, here's my #Spanner #amediting = #amprocrastinating update: I just made the edits I was planning to Spanner In The Works chapter 36. I'll finish that chapter tomorrow. Good night...
"And now, back to our commercial."
This is me as the campaign draws nearer. I HAVEN’T WRITTEN A FUCKING THING FOR THEM TO DO AT THEIR DESTINATION. I guess I know what I’m doing tonight, instead of working on my book. #ttrpg #dnd #Writersky #writingcommunity #amprocrastinating
One of the worst things about being self-employed is that on days when you're feeling lazy & uninspired, you can actually not-work and there's no one to tell you to "Get to work!"
Of course, Future You curses the hell out of you, and there's also some guilt involved, but still.

View above the plane of the ecliptic showing a hypothetical binary star system containing one gas giant with a single moon. Two stars named libre and epsilon, based off a real binary system of the same name
Tweaking the binary star system, increasing the mass of the smaller red dwarf without throwing off the Jovian orbit, which looks circular, but wobbles unstably.
See I don’t want Epsilon to be the primary star, I want a true stable binary system… 🪐

In support of option 1: keeping the big picture in mind is important. And working on multiple research projects or collaborations at once is normal.
In support of option 2: the current dissertation chapter is really feeling like a slog.
#AmWriting (or #AmProcrastinating)
I've been #amprocrastinating by cleaning the dirty contacts of my Atari cartridges so they won't muck up my #Atari7800+. But now it's time for #Spanner #amediting.
First order of business: cut Chapter 0 down to size. Many a darling must suffer death by delete key.
For #Booksky (and once again welcome #booktok people) what I was reading while washing my clothes this afternoon was nonfiction: How The French Invented Love by Marilyn Yalom.
Now I'm going to stop #amprocrastinating -- my #Atari7800+ #retrogames, that is. I'll tell you when I #amediting my book.
It's crazy the random questions my brain will create when I'm about to start to write my romance.
"What's the opposite side of the world from New Jersey" is my latest.
You?

A delicious cup of coffee topped with a beautiful foam design.
Now that the holidays are over, it's time to get back to the writing routine. Three heads-down sessions a day, five hundred words each. At fifteen hundred words a day, I should be able to finish my work-in-progress in... Oooooo...COFFEE!!

Just now-today-starting to feel human enough to get some work done. Except I can't work in these conditions, so dammit I have to unfuck my habitat.
#amprocrastinating #amediting
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.

You know what? I'm going back one Scorps album.
#NowSpinning: Scorpions, Lovedrive
Meanwhile, I'm going to stop #amprocrastinating and get back to my #Spanner #amediting. Chapter 41 here I come...
Just discovered the #5amwritersclub. Unfortunately I did so in the middle of #amprocrastinating.
The #Spanner #amediting resumes tomorrow.
