Ack, I've been Tagged
Apparently, I have been tagged by Wendy from Creative Work at Home Info to write up a contract for myself in regards to what I vow to do and not to do with my writing, this year and beyond. Well, here goes!I, Denise Shively, hereby proclaim that I will STOP PROCRASTINATING. If procrastination seems avoidable, I will at least entertain myself with something mildly productive, even if said entertainment has nothing to do with what I'm procrastinating about.
I will start querying print publications in my chosen niche instead of sitting around talking about how I plan to in the near future. Additionally, I will begin making plans for an actual business website to be launched sometime this year.
I vow to resolve any inner turmoil I may have about choosing what can be, at times, a very finicky profession. I love what I do, and I will remember to be more appreciative of what I do have rather than what I don't. Above all, I promise to remember that it's okay to take time off now and then, if I can afford to.
This is the part where I'm supposed to tag three additional people to create their own contracts. If you're interested in doing so, have at it -- I'd love to read it!
Best,
Denise

Lovely contract! I included procrastination and queries in mine, too, haha.
Haha, procrastination is the bane of my existence unfortunately.
Actually, I think procrastination is probably one of the major characteristics that defines a writer. And I have a theory about procrastination ... While it can and often does get out of hand (and we get nothing done), I think it's the period when ideas gestate and develop. Yes, it appears as we're wasting time and avoiding work (which is often true), I find when I'm procrastinating some part of my brain is always working.
Good one Denise! And woman, you've GOT to take time off here and there, not just "if you can afford it." I know, I know, it's easier said than done sometimes. ;-)
