YouTube
reading books
reading Publishing Trends, LitHub and other book blogs
googling for info about how to build an author site, how to market your books, searching for free fonts, etc.

Notice a common theme? I’ve deluded myself that if I procrastinate in ways related to my book, then it’s not wasting time. But it still keeps me from writing. (♯ᴖ.ლ)

  • “art” (messing around with watercolors)
  • telling myself if I’m thinking really hard about my story, it counts as writing

Why is “creating topics on Wacky” not on your list? XD

WackyWriters
YouTube
Discord (Dreamland community mostly)
Making Wattpad Covers (I procrastinate making them by writing, sometimes, so it goes both ways kinda)

lol, I do that, too XD And yes, it counts, because you’re just doing the thinking time in advance so that when you get to the writing time, it hopefully goes smoothly.
