25 Things To Do Instead of Write Your Weekly Blog Post

Does this ever happen to you? Your blog post is calling you, CALLING YOU, CALLING YOU and all you want to do is anything but write that post. Here’s a list of suggestions that work well for me at those times:

1. Clip your toenails…..and then clip them again

2. Tidy your desk

3. Upload your audio interview to your computer and send it to be transformed into Word

4. Get the mail

5. Pay bills

6. Go for a walk

7. Answer all twenty emails in your InBox

8. Get a glass of water

9. Throw out the garbage if your husband/wife forgot

10. Prepare supper early in the day. That’s really good planning!

11. Have a nap

12. Do some more research for your work-in-progress even though that phase is done

13. Call your sister and talk even though you get a busy signal

14. Organize the sticky notes on your To/In Progress/Done white board. Put them all in the Done column

15. Check your Facebook Author page. Maybe someone has “liked” it

16. Get a glass of Diet Coke even though you know it’s terrible for you

17. Sign up for Tumblr or some other social media site you’re not on yet

18. Check  your InBox again. Maybe there’s something new and exciting there

19. Have another nap

20. Try to change the date of one of your speaking engagements

21. Enter a contest

22. Writing contest, that is

23. Check the oven

24. Get out your tweezers. Nuff said

25. Turn off your computer and realize that you need a break.

 And now back to Historical Fiction and my Loyalists. You see? Lots of days I get loads done!
