It was so nice of you to drop by and comment on this post. Now I can procrastinate a bit more by commenting on your comment!

From a Voice Dialogue perspective, I wonder who it is that stops us writers from writing? Who prevents aspiring authors from getting published? The Inner Critic? The Inner Procrastinator? The Protector Controller? The Inner Child? Hmmm.

Maybe you want to stop your “being” and non-writing for a little while and write a guest blog post for me on the most common inner selves writers possess that stop them from achieving their writing goals? It’s a lovely idea…Consider it!

How wonderful for us to have this seminal work of ours finally discovered and appropriately – and fully – appreciated! We are delighted to know that there is at least one teacher out there disseminating this extraordinarily valuable information. We do sense that you have deep understanding of the material we were trying to convey :-)

Our congratulations on your work and on your obvious mastery of the fine art of procrastination. The latter is most assuredly a major – albeit a secret – component of any book production.

Our very warmest wishes to you,
Hal & Sidra Stone

I’ve pulled up my story and closed it down several times already, because I didn’t want the timer to continue as I non-write. Some of the things I’ve done to make this a non-writing day: email, visiting blogs (hi!), critiqued someone’s work, facebooked, twittered, visited forums, played with cover art, surfed stockphotos, browsed Netflix for my next movie, looked at the first sentence of the chapter I’m working with of my WIP and think I need to fix that, then went back to non-writing.

Whew! All I can say is it’s been a busy day non-writing. It’s past 3:30 pm, and I’d just pulled up my story again and thought, I really need to fix that first sentence. Then I saw your tweet and voila! here I am.
