| Way Too Much... |
Yup, it may be 'Who Am I? Friday, but it definitely should be 'What The Heck Am I Doing? Friday'. It's 10:15 am, I've been awake for a mere twenty minutes (I had a lie-in for once), and I suddenly remembered that it was my turn to write today's post. Erk.
That's not so bad - usually I leave everything until the last minute anyway, so it's not unusual - but this isn't the only window I have open on my laptop. As well as Blogger, I have two Word documents open. One of them is my BuNoWriMo novel, awaiting four thousand shiny new words today as I have to catch up from yesterday, and the other is a document titled 'Spartans 2 - Pirates of the Sparrebean' (don't ask). Then I have another Blogger window open so that I can skim through a few blogs that I'm following, and also because I'd really like to post on my main blog today because I know nothing will be added over the weekend, plus I want to try and post a couple of times a week this month at the very least.
And if four windows wasn't enough, then how about five? Obviously I need to have Facebook open so that my procrastinating urges are covered. *nods*
And this is me. Trying to do too many things at once, as usual. It's not so much biting off more than I can chew, it's more a case still trying to bite because the chunk is too big. I don't know why I do it to myself, I really don't. I mean, I know I'm going to get into trouble if I promise to do too much, but I still go ahead and promise anyway. And with my avoiding issues and dithering tendencies, you would think that I would have learned my lesson by now.
But no, here I am hastily putting a ramble together for today's blog, and I shall be moving on to my Word documents next. Technically I should really concentrate on my BuNoWriMo story first, but I have a feeling that the Spartans file will suck me in as I have the story floating in my head and it will only take a couple of thousand words to get it done.
Then again, I'm still half asleep, so Bejeweled Blitz is a good option for spending a few mindless minutes trying to wake my brain up. Or maybe Vegas Nights. Or possibly Undersea Treasure Slots.
*shifty*
Yup, that's me. Too many things to do, and far too many distractions to tempt me.

I could have written this post. I too have way too many things piled on my plate (both figuratively and literally). I have a to do list as long as my arm, but yet it's sunny outside meaning I'm more laid back than usual. I'm sure I'll get it all done eventually...ahem!
When you're working on a big project (for instance a novel), it's good to take some short breaks and do something else >:)
Cold As Heaven
*giggle* One of the very good reasons I largely write longhand... no distractions. You can do it all, Tara! I think being too busy makes us all more productive.
Christine - Ugh, it's a gorgeous day here too - for a change! - so it's really hard to make myself work...
CaH - With me, it's more like my writing is the ten minute break from the playing. *snort*
Tami - I can't write longhand. I've tried, but I end up doodling instead, and then I can't make head nor tail of my writing because I write really fast and it's pretty illegible...
