Yesterday I finished writing up thirteen pages of notes in an attempt to analyze Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking. The paper I need to write on the topic will be between two and five pages. Hmmm.
This morning, after walking the dog, I started highlighting Anne LaMott’s Hard Laughter. I also checked my email six times, did some insurance paperwork and ate lunch. I’m considering going outside to begin pulling weeds in the yard. Hmmmm.
Think perhaps I am procrastinating? Um. Yes. Okay. Here’s my promise to you. Before tomorrow, I will actually edit two scenes from the memoir. That may not sound like much, but it’s more than I’ve done in five days.
Scout’s honor. See you tomorrow.
