Hello again and Welcome to Fiction Friday.
All new years start off with good intentions.
I am writing this Fiction Friday post because I am putting off revising a scene from my WIP.
I have committed FaceBook-ary, Tweeted, researched the nature of Ravens and watched The Blacklist. Now, I’m here..
I know Procrastination is a serious problem. Look at all of the words related to the topic. The person who gathered this list probably should have been cleaning up after the family cat.
The scene I am working on, should be working on, is an interesting one so I am not at all sure why I don’t slip on a pair of Nikes and just Do It..
My protagonist, Judy Hawks is doing a welfare check for her home-bound friend, Carl Eps. She arrives at the elderly social worker’s house and finds her dead. Just dead. The front door is open, the refrigerator is humming and Mrs. Finley is sitting in a task chair at her desk, stock still, her hair a halo of white and unexpectedly soft as Judy leans in to touch her cheek.
While I am not revising this scene I thought I’d give you a list of Procrastination’s closest known associates, partners in crime or at least accomplices of some sort.
Why don’t you all join me as I participate in Procrastinating, Dilly-dallying and Puttering.
