Discussion topic for today: What's your favored method of procrastination? (I prefer cleaning, myself. Mostly because I hate to clean enough that I might actually write instead!)

Favorite procrastination = Tumblr

Exercise, and cooking. And watching a movie. And eating.

And going to work.

Working full time is a very good way to procrastinate on writing. ;)

The trouble is that I procrastinate until I am tired, and then I don't want to write when I'm tired.

But I got about 800 words written today, and that is pretty good. It meant I finished a story. I'll have to give it a good, scrubbin' edit in a bit.

Youtube mostly and twitter but I am addicted to it.

Yesterday was hectic with health related appointments so I got nothing done. So far today I've edited a little and looked over a fic I've not touched for a while. The plan is to get a minimum 500 words written, more than that is a bonus.

I tend to procrastinate by playing solitaire. It's far too easy to start just one more game. Of course, yesterday, I procrastinated by digging through eight or nine thousand messages in an e-mail account that I'd ignored for about five years (it's an alumni account from my university, so I don't want to just ditch it). I found about five messages that I really wish I'd gotten. The rest was stuff from the university, stuff from a e-mail group I belong to under two different addresses and spam.
