Operation Remind Myself I'm a Writer

Operation Remind Myself I'm a Writer, Day One: The procrastination enemy has withdrawn to a defensive position. Fiction accomplished.

Day Two: The standoff with procrastination continues.

Day Three: Enemy regroups, distracts us with shiny objects.

Day Four: Our forces don't even try. They just sit in the bunker, eating pizza and watching Iron Man.

Day Five: We finally pick up our weapons and take aim only to find out that the enemy built a Death Star while we were watching Iron Man.

Day Six: We fight back, but get our assess handed to us. Again.

Day Seven: Turns out that Death Star has an exhaust port...

[Disclaimer: It's not my intention to make light of Memorial Day with a battle metaphor. My respects go out to those who have died on real battlefields.]

Clever!

Next you should do The Battle for Slush Pile Hill! Lot of casualties in that one, including me.

Yeah, I had two casualties this morning in that one.

Sounds like me... Except you got some words in there at times!

Now if only I could say with confidence that they were good words. :)

There comes a time in which ALL words are good words!

I totally pulled a Luke Skywalker on the Death Star yesterday and got some fiction written. Take that, procrastination!
