Am I Procrastinating, Distracted, or Just Challenged?
It feels as though I’m procrastinating. Am I? Or am I expecting too much of myself?
This has been an ongoing issue for most of my adult life. It’s been especially problematic in my desire to establish a stable career and make real money along the way.
There are multiple reasons behind this, of course. Some are external, some internal. I spent my twenties and almost half of my thirties trying to decide what I desired to do with my life. Use my college degree and work in theatre? Get a job in radio? Get a teaching certificate and teach? Go back to school for another degree and do something else?
This would keep me bouncing from job to job. In part out of fears of both failure and success. It was in part because I was unwilling to uproot from my base and go potentially to the middle of nowhere for a career. I found myself procrastinating about taking certain actions that might move my life forward.
Then I realized, after much trial and error, that I am a writer. I had Seeker professionally edited. I finished and got Finder edited. After that, I started to work on writing even more. Now I have more than 12 finished books and more on the way!
