What is it about writing that can set you off on random tangents just to put it off? Today I have read in preparation of an essay, I have started the essay, hated what I wrote, hung the washing, started reading again, wrote some more, read some more, Facebooked, read some more. And decided to blog about not being able to write. Seriously.
It is one of those essays where I just can't figure out where I want to start, so I have been putting it off for quite a while, and now the dreaded due date is looming large. Sigh. The funny thing is I have had some real successes with my writing this semester - I have written essays in a remarkably short amount of time (what took me days and weeks last semester is only taking hours and days), and I'm getting excellent feedback and marks. So what is the problem this time? I think it is because this has subjective content, and I am questioning myself on it. Because that's what I do.
It is ironic that I am choosing to avoid writing an essay, on writing, by writing. I have some serious writing issues, but I guess that the only way to solve these issues is to stop procrastinating and get writing.
Yeah it's like a diary....therapeutic.
