Sometimes, it's hard for me to stick to a personal goal or deadline, but if there's someone else who expects me to DO something, I'll really push to meet their expectations. It's extra motivation that I need.<br /><br />I, too, am a master of procrastination. I wish they gave out degrees for this kind of thing. :)Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763911471376369172.post-75442974818377555332011-02-25T09:05:39.752-05:002011-02-25T09:05:39.752-05:00That's great Ishta good for you!

I think it's more of a practise for something else I want to write. I lost 7 chapters of a YA novel years ago and I might re-write it as best I can in verse. I think I am self-powered at the moment, less time because of puppy is helping focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763911471376369172.post-78075944312551589322011-02-24T20:13:27.917-05:002011-02-24T20:13:27.917-05:00Sometimes I'll enter contests to make sure I g...Sometimes I'll enter contests to make sure I get something written.

I'll even say my crit group! but most of all it's knowing that my kids get homef from school at four and I can't write when they are home so I better finish my days goals before that. Horray for public school!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
