Breaking the Procrastination Pattern

So . . . weird thing happened this morning. I took one of those e-mail online quizzes entitled “Are You a Procrastinator?”

The Aussie Author

Here I am sitting on the other side of the world, Australia, writing while pondering the lovely summer evening, fully aware that many who read this will be layered with jumpers and getting friendly with heaters. I am taking full advantage of the Internet, the only method of communication within my means and timeframe that reaches across the seas to try to crack it big-time into the world of Christian publishing.
