Start writing, you procrastinator!

A lecture from a procrastinator, Antares.

Every worker of art: writer, artist, musician or whatnot has suffered from this very common illness called Procrastination. What is procrastination? 

So now you know. As a young and growing writer, I suffer from this greatly. And it is spreading from my writing to my personal life, for example, school work [quietly blames procrastination from writing for my lack of complete work].

The problem isn't how you get procrastination (Tumblr, Pinterest, regular laziness) it's how you get rid of it. How do you get rid of the feeling of not doing anything today but sit and scroll through some of your favourite fandoms' feed? Personally, I still don't have an answer. I search answers; I listen to aspiring podcast (lol, no), I ask for advice online (Which is stupid because half of the people are also procrastinators). But no such luck. 

Until the day the shooting star in my head clashed, like the big bang, against my brain. The best way to get out of procrastination is to procrastinate it. That's it. I keep delaying things, but what if I delay delaying it?

You most probably:

Yeah, it's a wacko idea, but aren't we all? I haven't put the thought to it, but maybe it could actually work. And I don't if it's just me but this is basically how my pattern for writing is like: Open laptop, open word doc, open Pinterest and Tumblr, scroll through them for two hours AND then, only then, write a hundred words (Which also are useless). 

Given what my daily work looks like makes me believe I'm the slobbiest person in existence. There is a reason this GIF is my spirit animal. I mean, this is me with my laptop. Which is not healthy at all.

This post is absolute trash leave now.

I'm going to give you actual advice now. You don't have to write at this moment, or anytime you feel like you have done nothing. That's the guilt in your body making you trip. You write when you want to. Don't let negativity force you to write, draw or sing because that is not your heart saying those words, drawing those lines. That's your procrastination's actual illness. Guilt.
