Procrastination is an UGLY beast

I have my computer open and raring to go. So what am I doing? Re-organizing my kitchen. I swear I often have the most organized and cleanest house in all the land. I stared at my screen for a while then decided I had nothing to write about so went to clean my kitchen. And being the Virgo that I am, once I start, I just can't stop!!!!! Double GAH! At this rate I will have to go to Ikea to buy all new furniture to deal with my newly organized kitchen and office and bedroom. Speaking of which, I need a desk. GAH!

But when I am writing I LOVE LOVE LOVE it - what is wrong with me? Why can't I just go straight to my computer? Good things happen when you do. For instance, I have been writing and developing a TV series for what seems like an eternity. In my mind I knew the computer was calling me, saying "write the character breakdowns, write the character breakdowns". It said this to me for about two months before I actually did. And you know what happened as soon as I finished this last piece of the puzzle? I got two major parties interested in reading the freaking script!!!! So clearly good things happen when you break past that procrastination elf on your shoulder and WRITE.

Okay, back to my kitchen. The knowledge that pots are sitting on my floor is driving me INSANE!
