This is me, procrastinating

Hi!  So, I am a freelance writer.  It's great, most of the time.  I get to set my own hours, work from home, all that great stuff.  Unfortunately, it also means the paycheck isn't a steady one. Right now, I am severely procrastinating.

There's one main company that I work for.  I went three weeks with about 6 things to write.  I can generally do about 20 a day, so that was a little crazy-slow.  Then all of a sudden, last night I get 200.  All at once.  Unfortunately, these 200 are the same length as what I normally write, but pay at 1/3 the price.  So... I have a ton to do, that won't pay nearly as much as I'm used to.  But, I guess at least it'll still bring something in.  

I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment.  When I get overwhelmed, unfortunately, my response is to procrastinate.  *sigh*  So very very much to do.

Sorry for the whine. :-P

--This is totally me too!  I have to give myself little rewards (like Bump time) to motivate myself to get things in gear.  Good luck!

Thanks!  Yeah, I take like a two minute break between articles.  Check the bump, grab a snack, things like that.  So far, so good.  I think my biggest problem is just getting started. lol!

I'm covering for my co-worker while she's on maternity leave so I've got twice as much on my plate right now and what am I doing?? Surfing the web of course! I can totally relate...
