I needed to hear that and enjoyed reading your post. What I'll be doing today? After reading your post; one by one i'll be closing my 60 tabs which I have open on my computer, It's a record even for me. I didn't know my PC was capable of this. No no no, I don't call this procrastination, it's uh ... research.Mimi https://www.blogger.com/profile/14537405836915800211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-87738664610237919552015-07-06T17:45:05.549+10:002015-07-06T17:45:05.549+10:00Honestly...

Now that you've dipped your toes in, you probably will jump in with both feet into it to create a mighty splash. Great to have your thoughts and may you enjoy this new season. It's a brand new season for me too in many important ways and so yes, God is laying many wonderful new beginnings in my heart too. All the best in your interesting life and here's to good health, great blogs and lots and lots of creativity. :)Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-17900766866644431552015-07-06T14:09:43.864+10:002015-07-06T14:09:43.864+10:00Hi Sue,

Yes, it's been a very sad week in Adelaide, and your observations about Phil Walsh living his purpose are spot on. I have to remind myself of this all the time too, as I know what seasons of intense hard work are like, and also seasons of procrastination. I'm glad we have fellow Christian Aussie authors to remind us to not get discouraged.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-27848604486225317682015-07-06T12:35:37.672+10:002015-07-06T12:35:37.672+10:00I don't know Sue - I have so much fun writing ...I don't know Sue - I have so much fun writing my novels.

I think an INFJ - the typical 'author' profile, but have developed a lot of extraverted behaviour ( life does that to you, doesn't' it!) , so if I go by the questions I am ENFJ.

With all you have accomplished in your life, I can't imagine you would ever qualify for that PhD in procrastination! <br /><br />And yes, I well remember when I started writing almost full-time in 2004 how various people commented to me 'Oh, it must be nice to be retired and spend your time writing!' I did not consider myself retired at all--and I still don't! Oh well.Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-22879313318716770082015-07-06T10:25:01.166+10:002015-07-06T10:25:01.166+10:00Enjoyed your post, Sue.

I tend to say yes to zillions of projects - because I would like to do them all - and then find myself bogged down and time-pressured, stressed and devoid of creativity. Then I go and get an old-fashioned notebook and pen and make a list of everything I want or need to do and prioritise it. It works for me. Well, usually. I consider writing important and feel God wants me writing ( amongst other things). Thanks for the reminder!Jeanette Grant-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691677119939194892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-82527320679272022862015-07-06T10:02:13.785+10:002015-07-06T10:02:13.785+10:00That's a great post Sue.

I'm so glad you answered the blogging call :) I've been a lifetime member of the procrastination club, but have been actively pursuing writing for a few years now. Strangely enough that novel just isn't writing itself! Sometimes weeks pass by and I haven't added to it at all. But when I heard that the Queensland Writers Centre was having an editor's boot camp in August, it dawned on me that I could go if I had a finished draft. Still working on the draft, but it's happening a little at a time. Thanks for the reminder to keep plugging away at what God has placed on our hearts. May he continue to bless you richly as you pursue your dreams.Nola Passmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425394685430146759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-48510628816317464562015-07-06T09:58:00.549+10:002015-07-06T09:58:00.549+10:00Hi Sue - welcome to blogging :) And thanks for the...Hi Sue - welcome to blogging :) And thanks for the reminder that our time is precious and none of us know how long we have on this earth. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at the comment of one of your friends '‘Isn’t writing something you do when you retire?' I'm glad that great writers like Jane Austen, Bryce Courtenay, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Jodi Picoult or any number you can think of didn't take that advice. It may be 'never too late to start' but how much better to start today :)Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.com
