Lazy AF

I'm Not that Lazy I Promise

Yeah, I'm such a word slut. I talk and talk forever. I talk when I'm nervous, I talk when I'm excited, I talk when I'm bored, etc. I've always written a lot, too. Even before I discovered the wonderful yet horrifying world of fanfiction, I was always a major fan of making up stories. I thought so much that I had millions of ideas running through my head and I always wrote them down. I just love words.

So why the hell do I have a problem with actually putting my work out there? It's always "oh, I have this AMAZING story idea! I'm writing it at this very moment, actually! I'll be up-to date with it, too!" I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not confident with my writing. So what if like, 10 people read this? No biggie!

It's not really that anymore. I'm past that point. I've read essays in front of my class, I've made a couple of speeches in front of the grade, I've performed alone on stage, and all that cool crap (okay, so I've maybe had a few panic attacks before, and maybe I still do).

I'm just really lazy, to be honest. I'm also bad at dedication. If I say I'll do it in advance, trust me when I say I won't do it (this is basically an apology for all the times I said I was going to write a story but I never did). For example, I said I was going to text my friend at least twice a week after I moved. It's been about three years, and just a few days ago we started talking over Skype again. It's also been four years since I wrote my first fanfiction, but to this day I never finished it. I'm not a huge procrastinator in comparison to some other people I know who have put things off for several years and to this day have not gotten started on whatever it is that's taking them so long to do.

That's not me, I swear. Pinkie promise.

Also, I don't put deadlines on myself. My teachers do that for me. Even then I kinda do stuff at the last minute. (Sidenote: I should probably stop doing that, but then again, I don't like placing limits on myself either.)

I'm sure the tens of you that are reading this must agree. I bet some of you have a few fanfictions right now that you've never finished. If I caught you, go ahead and write at least a few sentences for that story you never finished. Go on. I'll just wait here and think about that test for that novel I was supposed to read for English.

Done? Great! You're already more productive than me. Hooray for you. Go get yourself a cookie, you champion. I'd give you an internet hug, but it's freezing cold and these blankets are warm.

Okay, so I guess I'm a tad bit lazy when I think about it. Haha. Oh well. Who's going to stop me?

Constructive criticism is welcome, especially for my early chapters! I'm trying to get used to writing in this format, so I appreciate all the help I can get! Vote and/or comment if you're one of the millions of people that suffer from procrastination and laziness. Love you guys, and stay strange. xoxo
