Thursday Thirteen: 13 Things You Should Be Doing, Right Now

14/02/2013

Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! Since everyone is going to be doing Valentine's-themed posts today, I thought I'd take things in a slightly different direction. I know a lot my viewers are writers, you see, and they write in all genres and styles (which is why I love them all), but if there's one thing most writers have in common, it's the need for discipline and dedication, inspiration and focus.

So today, I present to you:

13 Images of What YOU Should Be Doing, Right Now!

It's a dilemma, indeed.

Feeling motivated yet?

I know I sure am!

So now, I'd better get to work.

Stories to write, imagination to plunder, all that sort of thing.

But sometimes,

Even my imagination needs a little boost.

Don't forget to pick a flower before you go!

Happy Valentine's Day, ladies!

I got the message, lol. I always try to write every day. Oh, and you need a bigger rose.

Good to know, Anthony! :) As for the rose, I'll have to make another close inspection to be sure. *ahem*

About two years ago an author wrote about a post on how she wrote her book on a deadline imposed by herself - in 6 months. What I remember she said is something I seem to be always spending time on - FB ... lol! Not that I'm a writer. Although sometimes I fancy it. Now if only I had discipline and focus... Love your list. It pokes and tells me my PhD dissertation proposal has been put away for quite awhile now. It's been approved. Yes, yes, I hear you, I should be writing :)

FB could be called "Timesuck" and it'd still be a popular way to procrastinate. LOL!

Hie thee to a word processor, forthwith! YOU SHOULD BE WRITING!

I had to post the Tennant pic! Glad you enjoyed the eye candy, as well. ;)

*flinch* How did you know I was procrastinating?

I'm copying all of these and putting them in my screen saver folder.

How did I know? You're a writer, aren't you? Procrastination is an art form among writers. ;)

Funny, I have a sudden urge to write. :)

Weird how that works, isn't it? LOL!

Sometimes (like what I'm working on right now) I have to just quit because nothing is happening. Other times is flows with ease. A little blogging or caffeine break?

Kimberly Menozzi link

14/02/2013 22:16

NO! YOU SHOULD BE WRITING!
Just kidding! Of course breaks are allowed, just don't let 'em get out of control.

Or, write nonsense. Sometimes that gets things going again. :)

Yep, I should be writing, too. But then I wouldn't get to gaze at your roses.

And everyone knows, we should stop every so often to enjoy the roses. ;)

Don'cha just hate when that happens? ;)

So what was it you were trying to say? :-D

This is truly inspirational! (And I came to that conclusion *before* I saw the handsome young man with the rose.)

Well, that was my hope, after all. Glad to hear it. Don't forget your flower, dear. ;)

I'm actually in therapy for this. The not-writing thing.

Love the roses.

Kimberly Menozzi link

I hope the therapy proves productive for you, darlin', as I enjoy your blog writing.

I'm glad you enjoyed the roses - I hope you picked one before you left! ;)

Okay...okay...you caught me. LOL. I really SHOULD be writing. I only have 12K words completed out of a 55K manuscript I'm working on, so I honestly I should get busy. Thank you for the reminder. :)

Kimberly Menozzi link

15/02/2013 18:22

Yup. Thought so. I'm happy to provide this service, though. ;)

My computer does all the writing. I just fondle its keyboard.
