March Break

 I have two weeks off in March. Two glorious weeks with so much time for writing.

I am already part way through the final week.

So far, I have:

·         Cleaned the house.

·         Cleaned the doors and skirting boards.

·         Deep cleaned the kitchen.

·         Dyed my hair.

·         Gone on 5 long walks in the countryside (saw a deer on one of the walks! 😊)

·         Tidied the garden.

·         Watched a season of Mad Men.

·         Read A Little Life (700+ pages).

·         Listened to an audiobook.

·         Exercised (only once).

·         Played Sims 3 for a full day 😐

·         Baked cookies.

·         Watched a bunch of Youtube videos about travelling to Japan and then made a vision board about travelling to Japan.

·         Cross stitched something for my Nanna’s birthday.

And I have hardly written anything! I tried to imagine that these activities were either being done for inspiration purposes or to give me some breathings thinking space for my writing, but in truth they are total and utter procrastination- I know I am going to totally regret this once the week is up!
