I mean, you could spend months and months on planning, all the while telling yourself what an important step it is, and all the while also avoiding getting down to any actual writing. (Not that I have any experience with this.) So you should feel encouraged to go ahead and start playing with sticky notes, because it will give you another chance to procrastinate!<br /><br />Seriously, though, planning is definitely worthwhile, but you do have to remember to bring it to an end and start writing eventually.

I want to give sticky notes a try. Two months ago, I purchased inexpensive tri-fold boards from a closing Office Depot. Go figure why they sat out on the back porch until yesterday. Alternatively, I could rent them to kids for their annual Science Fair project and make money. Maybe more money than my writing brings in, but I procrastinate! ;-) Fruitful writing to you!KT Sweethttp://ktsweet.comnoreply@blogger.com
