In case you can't tell, my last four or five days of posts have been pretty unremarkable. I'm stalling to avoiding writing a real story that I have to think about. I have a lot of good stories, I just don't want to write them. This will continue until I climb out of this little funk.

Facing an important college deadline, I asked an old friend of mine what sort of techniques she uses to force her self to work. "I study with a big water bottle," she says, "and I keep studying until I have to pee. I hold it in until I absolutely can't anymore, then I study for five more minutes." I'm not bonkers, so I will not be doing that, but I am interested in any sort of procrastination countermeasures you guys use.
