One morning just like 9/11 there's going to be a disaster. I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.
I think the worst and most insidious procrastination for me is research. I will be looking for some bit of fact or figure to include in the novel and before I know I've wasted an entire morning delving into that subject matter without a word written.
