Procrastination Doubles

Those two words up there are actually very closely related, based on my day yesterday.

In my sort of secret writing life (oh wait, it's not secret anymore....), I procrastinated. Lots. I did write a little, but only because I wanted to stay on track, so I met the daily requirement and stopped there. The rest of the part of the day that was available for writing (meaning not going to the beach or dive practice), I don't even know whatall I did. Stalked blogs, I guess.

So, my procrastination doubled.

In my other life, the one where I do things with my family and my friends and I do everything except write, I also procrastinated. I had to go to dive practice, but I was at the beach. So I jumped in the ocean and managed to miss a good half hour of practice.

Then I was at dive practice and my coach decided I should do a front double.

Let me just pause to explain that a front double, folks, is two front flips. Right in a row. Off one of those dinky little one-meter boards.

So I procrastinated for that. For about...oh, I'd say twenty minutes. I finally did it, but only because my mom was going to be there soon, and it was now or never. So I chose now.

And so, my doubles were procrastinated.

Do you now understand how "procrastination" and "doubles" are related? You should. Because I just ranted about this for a long time.

Anyway, I'm off to do some REAL writing. Bye all, be sorrowful in my absence!
