procrastination

I'm supposed to be writing this paper. Not my novel, this other thing. It's actually on something I'm quite interested in, it's just the timeline on it is kind of bad, so I'm not feeling super motivated to get the thing done.... when I really need to be very motivated, considering the deadline and all the other things that need doing in the same time. So I'm working on it, but not in the oooh, I've got to get this done so I'm plowing through it way I need to be. More of a peck peck, finally finished that paragraph I wonder what is going on in the New York Times sort of way.

It's the absolute worst kind of procrastination. See, I've got a long list of other things with imminent deadlines, but this one is the most imminent, so I am only doing that one rather than any of the others. Because if I actually moved on to those I would really be procrastinating, and this is the top of the list. So, instead of doing the paper, I'm writing a blog post while I pointedly do NOT write my nanowrimo, because the paper comes first. SIGH.Okay, back to the paper.
