Writing, ahhh!

One of the first assignments my wise English teacher gave us in college was to write about the process we went through before actually writing papers. That way we could find out what our big "to do before the paper" list was and use the knowledge to get the paper writing done sooner by starting the to do list sooner. The big point that came out of it all was that most of us have lots of things we do to justify procrastinating the actual writing. I never considered myself much of an English-y person in school, and certainly I never had writing at the top of my "want to do" list. However, the tables have turned. In a world full of dishes, laundry, and children, I now find myself wanting to procrastinate those tasks by, you guessed it, writing (chiefly in blog form). How things do change over time. :)
