Creative Procrastination

A little over a year ago I decided I would buckle down and focus on writing stories for children's books. I've made progress but find one of my biggest problems is what I've decided to call creative procrastination. I come up with ideas for different things and decide they won't take up too much time. Then, with a number of these little projects piled up, I find I haven't worked on my stories.

I really enjoy the quick creative hit these little projects give me and to a certain extent they have made me stick to a schedule as I try to get things done on a daily or weekly basis. So now I just need to schedule in my story writing time.

Here are the procrastination projects I've currently got going or had going recently:














Participation in International Pwoermd Writing Month














Saint Tweet - A Twitter tweet about a lesser known Catholic saint every day














Jubal the Early Worm web comic (posted on F. S. Poesy's Instagram, every Friday)














2-Bit Overlords ABCs of Total World Domination web comic (posted on my Instagram every Wednesday)

My International Pwoermd Writing Month pwoermds

In the words of its discoverentor Geof Huth, the pwoermd is the height of minimalism in literature. It is a one-word poem that has no title save for itself. The pwoermd must make its effects in the smallest of spaces. Read more about pwoermds here.
