While I’ve yet to read the article, I would like to say that yes, there’s a huge difference between writer’s block and procrastination. Huge! Writer’s block is when nothing is coming to you. Procrastination is when it’s there and you’re doing nothing with it.

Well, I can never let my friends read that article! I’ve always known my problem was procrastination…definitely the whole ‘if I don’t finish it, it can’t be judged’ thing. It takes me forever to get to the end of a novel b/c of that. Of course, I’ve always claimed it to be a block of some sort.
*Sigh* Does this mean I have to give up procrastination now that I really know what it is?

Ironically, I fell upon your website by procrastination… I mean “writer’s block.”
Thanks for the great laughs. I needed it today.
