What ever have I been doing lately? Lets see shall we...
"Calvin: You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes: What mood is that?
Calvin: Last-minute panic."
— Bill Watterson
"It is awfully hard work doing nothing. However, I don't mind hard work where there is no definite object of any kind. -Algernon"
— Oscar Wilde (The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays)
"If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done."
— Rita Mae Brown
"Never postpone until tomorrow what you can postpone until the day after."
— Raoul Wallenberg (Letters and Dispatches 1924-1944)
"As a writer, I need an enormous amount of time alone. Writing is 90 percent procrastination: reading magazines, eating cereal out of the box, watching infomercials. It's a matter of doing everything you can to avoid writing, until it is about four in the morning and you reach the point where you have to write. Having anybody watching that or attempting to share it with me would be grisly."
— Paul Rudnick
All quotes courtesy of goodreads. No idea is wholly new, all things have roots in something else. These do however belong to the people who originally conceived them in this form. As most people are, at least at times, a trifle vain I have hopes that no one will mind me spreading their word-children about.
I wish you well on all of your projects for 'tomorrow,'
Rita
