In most blog tours, a single author appears on a variety of blogs, moving around the Internet and allowing the readers of those blogs get to know the author.

In the Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour, the authors stay on their blogs and it's you, the reader, who takes the tour.

Each month, our participating authors from around the world agree to blog on a single topic throughout the month. By following the links in each month's post, you'll discover a whole bunch of new authors in a variety of genres, levels of experience, and styles of writing.

We hope you enjoy the trip and come back each month for a new spin around the globe.

Procrastin…. Squirrel!

Many years ago I heard someone say that procrastination is not the cause, but rather the symptom of something else. I tend to agree. Think about it – when you’ve procrastinated there was probably something more pressing requiring your attention. Or perhaps some truth you were trying to avoid. Let me explain.  Continue reading on my blog.

Procrastination: the excuse of free time

As seen from the time I’m posting this, I’m using the power of procrastination to its fullest. Reality was that until yesterday I was busy with studying for 4 exams, which make up the Top 5 of reasons right now why not to write. Unfortunately, number fifth is everything else one chooses to ignore... Please continue reading at my blog.

Procrastination: Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour #8

Unlike a lot of writers, I'm faced with a different type of procrastination

Many people will tell you that they'll procrastinate in any number of ways to avoid writing. They'll clean, knit, wash dishes and herd cats before they'll willingly Open their WIP (Work in Progress) and write the next scene.

Not me. I'll write to procrastinate from having to do anything else.

Resistance

It is a struggle, writing. I’ve spent a number of months over the last fourteen years finding everything in the world to do except write. (Idiotic, really, as I’ve wanted to be a published author for half my adolescence.) I just came off a three week stint in between novels, and am already woefully short on annual word count as well as two weeks behind my scheduled goals. Not because of procrastination (which is what I was doing), but because of resistance — that which caused me to procrastinate. Resistance is caused by a multitude of things, each insidious obstacle personally tailored for every individual. The key is to realize how resistance portrays itself to the individual, and construct a weapon to use against it. Read more at In Shadows

Procrastination=Avoidance


Every month, on the 10th day, I take part on the Forward Motion for Writers Blog Tour. Every month, I get to the 10th and realize in utter panic, that I haven't thought of what to write for the monthly topic. Ironically, this month, the month when the topic is procrastination, I'm actually writing this post ahead of time.

Procrastination fears me

Procrastination and I are old friends. The other day, for example, I was contemplating pushing aside the novel I was working on editing to go bake chocolate chip cookies. I even went so far as to mention it on Facebook. To read the rest of how procrastination and I get along, continue reading on my blog.
