Procrastination Part 3

Hmm.. I think I am one of those who procrastinate till the deadline stares at you in the face, or in my case looks at you with clear, black eyes and monosyllable responses:) It’s the utter lack of pressure that can sometimes be the greatest pressure. Once you break the stranglehold of pressure at its peak, it’s a pleasure really to work to a tight schedule. As one of the co authors of a novel, ideas have been running in my mind all along, but I could put down words only when there s virtually no escape:). I sit on the computer and do a steady stream of feed after which I do a lot of other things – like write in my blog for instance, do a jigsaw, listen to some music, surf. And then like gathering clouds, my ideas get together again and ask for a vent and I oblige them. Is that how people write novels, I wonder? I have written a few things in my life, but never so much of stuff. It gets easier as you go along – that much I can tell you!! Now , break time ‘s up. Time to feed more words:)

A decision made!

Reading & thinking for sustained periods can change the direction of your mind. Maybe I should write more - being a humanist with spiritual concerns and literary leanings may probably turn the vote in my favour. I have written, but not in this genre. Maybe I will soon.

Procrastination -Part 2

I am still at it! Happily building my blog while trying to complete some work. LOve this . Its two thirty am and ideas begin to flow..

Procrastination

Do I love to put off things? I had a deadline but instead of working to reach the deadline, all I did yesterday was consciously NOT WORK!! I spruced up my blog, looked at it this way and that way, listened to music, worked at clearing clutter (both inner and outer) and now the deadline problem solved itself. I sent off only part of the work I was happy with:) Goal achieved, yet satisfactorily. Now, is this procrastination? I wonder? I don't mind if it is, because the deadline is now approachable, doable. Yipee!!!

Music

Today I added some music links to my blog, but I would love to keep giving you more links...So I will probably move the links soon to a list:)I have been composing songs myself - i would love to have some one sing along and strum along on the guitar? I write when the lyrix flow . Sometimes I hear the tunes first...and record them on my mobile quickly..:)

Mallika -e -Tarannum

Recently a friend fondly greeted me as Mallika -e -Tarannum ! I looked it up and was pleasantly surprised to find that it meant Queen of Melodies! And all along I had never known the actual meaning of my name. I had thought my name meant the Jasmine flower! Or the name of a Hindu goddess. And left it at that. But Mallika meant Queen! and that does put a new perspective on my personality! :) It is amazing how you begin to feel intuitive about yourself, once you know the meaning behind your name. How your personality undergoes subtle changes. How your behaviour patterns are now clearer. How your actions that had been puzzling earlier now fall into a pattern. Its almost as if you've realised your destiny!! I wonder if everybody feels this way or is this what's happening to me?

Will continue with the story of the Queen and will tell you all about it!
