The Art of Procrastination - A Writer's Guide

As a writer, I know about procrastination. It haunts us. Even as I tackle this post, I have itches: just this moment I've aimlessly surfed the internet, checked emails, and tweeted... Now I'm considering tidying the stack of letters that somehow levitates in my periphery (yep, I'm not thinking of actually dealing with them, just tidying them).

Following the release of Cogwheels: Ten Tales of Steampunk, author and editor Rayne Hall has given us an insight into procrastination. It's a fantastic portrayal of this demon we all share.
