Are you old enough to remember them from your working life? Are you young enough to be having one right now? Sitting at your computer, your fingers flashing on the keypad, but achieving nothing? Looking busy to passers by, but hitting none of your targets? Reading sort-of-justifiable-to-colleagues/boss/self stuff on the internet, clicking aimlessly, tidying your desk, sorting out your stationery, doing just about anything to just pass the time until you can stop and put the entire miserable day behind you?
I've written a short story for a competition this week. Tick. I've written several new chapters of the latest Shaper instalment. Tick. I've scheduled trial adverts for Kat on amazon. Tick. I've organised a promotion for A Shaper's Promise. Tick. I've attempted to find ways to generate reviews on amazon.com (PLEASE *note the hysterical use of capitals*, PLEASE let me know if you know anyone in the USA who might write one for me!), but have found the only way is to pay or spend weeks painstakingly compiling your own list of possible reviewers, most of whom will never get back to you. No tick. Sigh. It looks like I've been busy. I haven't. I've been twiddling my mental thumbs much too often. I should be getting on with the next chapter, but I'm doing this instead. I'm prevaricating like the world's best prevaricator. Actually, I'm not. If I was the world's best prevaricator, I wouldn't be telling you, would I? Energy boost required. Mood boost required. Reason for giving a damn required. Roll on tomorrow...
