Regardless, I have editing to do and I shall do it. But I'd really rather do something else. On the bright side, though, when I get done, I'll have an awesome book to offer all y'all. And hey, that's worth a little unpleasantness. Right?
What are some things you avoid doing? What are some unpleasant things you're rather do?
Wow, you really don't want to edit, do you?
ReplyDeleteI hate cleaning - of any sort but most especially the bathroom. I'll do anything rather than clean the bathroom. I'm thinking about investing in a cleaning firm once a month!!
I love the writing part of writing, and I love the finished product, but the middle part where I have to fix stuff? Not so much.
DeleteI'm with you there, Fran. I don't like cleaning either. And bathrooms are the worst. Still, I use cleaning to avoid editing. My house should be spotless by the end of the month. ;o)
Folding clothes. Don't ask why. I don't mind sorting, sticking in the washer, moving to the dryer. I've trained myself to fold as I take them from the dryer but then they sit in the clothes basket. I have a mental block about picking up the stupid basket, walking to the bedroom, and putting the blasted clothes up. When I put the clothes away immediately? Yeah...totally procrastinating on the writing/editing/marketing.
