Don’t Make Me Look: Writing, Scorned.

Girls Girls Girls SignYeah it’s now 2:30 and I HAVE been awake since 7 a.m. and yes I HAVE thought about this Day 2, #Reverb10 prompt and I suppose I HAVE had at least TWO chances already to write this post, but I HAVEN’T and whose fault is that I’d like to ask but I won’t because if I do, some kind of disgusting acidic guilt will start eating away my writerly guts and then, because I HAVEN’T written the post yet, I’ll do something even MORE stupid, like TWEET 20 times and let  “it only takes a few seconds to write a tweet” flash like a “girls-girls-girls” neon sign in my mind until I am lulled, happily, into the Twitter-sphere, and OH SHIT, I haven’t even LOOKED at Facebook yet today, which means that hundreds of my adoring crickets are chirping away in my absence.

And oh, look.

It’s 2:41.

Huh.

And NOW I HAVE written the post and THAT wasn’t so hard, and NOW I feel badly AGAIN because wasn’t it just plain RIDICULOUS to put it off for so LONG, something which only took 11 minutes?

Sigh…
Thanks Leo Babauta for this prompt
