A public diary on how I’m beating procrastination and finally writing ( and publishing) a book – Diary Day 7

Diary Day 7 and today, I edited both the book interviews (I’m doing it in batches – I have many) and the freewriting I did.

Freewriting is liberating and allows no censorship, just pouring all your ideas on paper. I have tried both freewriting on a computer and on paper, and I prefer freehand, no checking of grammar, punctuation, and so on.

I’m going on a social media detox this weekend – this means no blogging, no Twitter, no Instagram, and so on (I will still keep a diary and summarise on Monday).

Bye-bye, social media. I will see you on Monday for a Day 8-9-10 summary.

Have a great weekend  xxx
