The Procrastination Chronicles: Dirty Little Secret
http://procrastination-chronicles.blogspot.com/2008/07/dirty-little-secret.html
Struggling to clean up a dirty little secret. Thursday, July 10, 2008. Dear Friends and Family,. I have something to tell you: I’ve been less than honest. You know how when we’re with Strangers Who Ask Me What I Do and I say with an ironic smile that “I’m blissfully unemployed”? And you laugh nervously and quickly step in to say, with obvious pride, “Actually, Melissa is a Writer," lest the Stranger get the wrong impression?

I really did. I wanted to. I even laid down about 600 self-pitying and un-funny words, but they were self-pitying and un-funny. It should be a Steven Wright. Joke: “I want to write a blog about procrastination, but I keep putting it off.”. And under those conditions, invariably the second attempt falls short&...

At the top of the list is the thing I do not wish to do the very most, and beneath that is everything else.

The Procrastination Chronicles: March 2009
http://procrastination-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Struggling to clean up a dirty little secret. Monday, March 2, 2009. Someone should invent a keyboard that doesn't connect to the internet.
