HOW TO OVERCOME A LAZY DAY

BY LISA AGOSTI

1. have a lazy day. you deserve it.
2. feel guilty and go back to writing

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. have a lazy day. you still deserve it.
2. make a list of all the things that you have been putting off for a while with the excuse of writing. For example here is my TO DO list:

• call mom
• iron party dress from music festival three months ago
• clean bedroom tiles from last year's coffee spills
• learn knitting before next Christmas so everyone will get cheap cute presents
• read book on new magic diet that has been on your bedside table for the past 8 months ready to turn you into amazingly beautiful top model in time for next summer. well it's fall now so why should I bother. delete from list. eat a no calories gluten free lactose free rice crispy bar. sneak into the peanut butter jar
• feel guilty and go back to writing being grateful for the excuse not to do anything on the bloody list

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. have a lazy day. you still sure deserve it.
2. feel guilty about people having a 9am-5pm job in a windowless office while you can have a lazy (well deserved) day in the sun
3. write post for your blog and guest post for other blogs and imagine yourself copy writing stupid ads for useless websites for 2$ every 2000000 words
4. go back to writing your novel feeling grateful and excited that you can write what you want when you want until money runs out (what money? add to TO DO list: call dad)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. have a lazy day. by now you don't even feel guilty anymore.
2. check pinterest pretending to be looking for inspiration.
3. check facebook pretending to be looking for inspiration.
4. check twitter pretending to be looking for inspiration.
5. check peanut butter jar pretending... nah... who am I kidding?
6. read a book you love
7. feel inspired and revived
8. go back to writing
