 When you have so much to say (sorry, write) the practice feels futile 
 Truf 
 I’m studying SCRUM for school- maybe that’ll help 🤣 
 Nah
I just wax poetic and write down my dreams as soon as I wake. 

What helps me is deadlines. If someone's like "I want to see something by Friday! Even if it's a paragraph" 

It makes me so procrastinating and clip things together🤷🏽 otherwise I'll sit and add and add and tweak forever 
 Yea but there’s nothing like a fully cohesive piece of work 

These are just musings but

There’s a difference between musings and a masterpiece 
 Speaking of which...you work on that project any more? We need to get corny together soon.  
 No 😭
I need deadlines 
 So I need to tell you when we're getting corny so that you have to be ready for it?  
 Yeah 
 The big the I haven't told you about yet

I want to work on that one the most. 

But me and nostr:nprofile1qqszd44fgen4ucpl3hjt7muuaazzqdahp3lwu9c07phdweelcdxf3ugpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyecprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvxy46z4 are brain shopping the fly one 
 But I need someone like

"Friday you fucker. I need to see progress. Even just a page"  
 Noshole dropped the ball 
 Have you read above and below this comment? 


Because no. 


It's not just you. I'm a procrastinator too

(The lazy one not the dick one)(Well ok the duck one too. But everyone does it) 
 Thank god I’m not alone. 

We are in the: have true potential, but no follow through club 😂 
 I have follow through when there's pressure🤷🏽

I always wow my best papers and stories at 2am the night before (then revising it again at 10 before class) from notes on the idea I had on the topic 3 months ago when the assignment was given

I need that "ok see you Friday with the first draft" kind of pressure you know?  
 What’s common thread here… 

Psst- it’s social media 🤣 
 Should I care about the reader or just throw them right into absolute dread right off the bat? 😅

I don’t think I’m supposed to care 
 Depends how you wanna hook em🤷🏽

Either way in your first 5 mins there should be a hook to get people wanting to know more. 

And depending how long your whole project is you should even be started on the inciting incident 🤷🏽
