1. Think of an interesting idea or fond memory that would make a great blog.
2. Sit down at the computer to write, and spend the next hour on Facebook/Twitter/Reddit.
3. Finally open a new blank word document.
4. Reward self with another 20 minutes on Facebook.
5. Back to the word document. Try to figure out a good lead-in to the blog. Spend 200-300 words meandering through different big words trying to get to the point. Most of this will get cut later.
6. Before actually reaching the point, remember that there is funfetti cake mix in the cupboard. Proceed to bake cake.
7. While cake is baking, go back to writing. Spend 30 minutes trying to craft the perfect transition sentence to finally get into the meat of the blog.
8. Pull cake out of the oven.
9. Put on Taylor Swift album to help focus and realize that the transition sentence is still shit, spend the next 15 minutes trying to fix it.
10. Dance break when Shake it Off comes on.
11. Continue writing, now finally able to dig into what you started out to write.
12. Realize 5 minutes later that cake has cooled enough to frost. Proceed to frost cake.
13. Bring a slice of cake back to the desk to energize your writing.
14. Spend the next 10 minutes writing, only to realize all you’ve done is described the slice of cake you’ve finished.
15. Delete cake writing, then go back to that pesky transition because it’s still not right, probably because the first 200-300 words aren’t right either and probably need to be cut.
16. Notice the time and realize you need to make dinner/run errands/meet friends. Decide to finish tomorrow without ever writing anything of substance.
17. Repeat.
