It's Friday morning and there are so many things I want to accomplish before I really get started for the weekend. There's so much laundry and cleaning to be done. Friends to catch up with. Some good daytime TV to be watched. But before I do anything I must write. It will be a guilt-ridden day full of regret if I don't write first.

Since I'm a chronic procrastinator, my remedy is to establish a routine as best I can. That means as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I come sit in front of the computer. I spend 10 to 20 minutes surfing the Internet, reading e-mail etc. just to warm up my brain. Then I write in the blog before writing a minimum of two pages on my novel. So far, so good.

I didn't have anything fascinating to write for today, so I decided to allow myself to just ramble on, so I wouldn't have to waste more time surfing the Net for a blog topic. Now, I've rambled enough and I'm going to go knock out that two pages so I can get on with my day.
