Me and procrastination

I have a penchant for putting things off. As a creative writer, I get loads of inspiration. Like, I would be walking along a street and a scene will burn into my mind, opening doors into new worlds I would so itch to create, I rush home and sit before my laptop. Then, after a few words, or story outline, I stand up, planning to come back and finish later. Two weeks later, at times months later, the story is still undone. That is me, always procrastinating.

I have noticed that my blog also suffers from this trait. I have several reports I have outlined for this blog, but all are still waiting the coupling process.

Then, there is my novels, all suffering the indignity I have bestowed on them, languishing in their unfinished state.

one would have thought that with the depth of my character building and knowing exactly where my story is going, I wouldn't have any problem finishing either novels, but they are both there, begging me to add chapters to them and grant them their long due birthing.

Well, I have tried to set deadlines, something they work, other times they just make things worse.

Anyway, I intend to try another approach...I will allow them creative juices flow, I will finish all that I start and hope the world enjoys them. At least, they only way to know how my creations would be received is to finish them and put them out there...down with procrastinations.
