Fellow bloggers, hands up anyone who’s been overcome with an absolute burning desire to write a blog post at the exact same time that you ‘should’ be doing something else? That report you need to finish writing? Housework to do? Cat needs a bath? (I was joking on that last point)
Right now I should be writing an article I’m planning on pitching to a newspaper but, what do you know? I can’t possibly start until this urgent post is out-of-the-way! I know. Pathetic isn’t it? I’m fully aware that I’m distracting myself because blogging is safe and rewarding (who in their right mind wouldn’t want to write about dogs all day?!) but pitching new ideas to scary editors is, well, scary!
So that my wasted ten minutes isn’t completely wasted, I’ve coined a new term purely for my own amusement:
Blogstraction – the act of writing blog posts as a distraction.
There. Post done. I’ll just make another cuppa before I tackle that article….
