I just heard this woman say “you procrastinate because you are afraid of rejection. It’s a defense mechanism, you are trying to protect yourself without even trying.” and I think I just realized what was wrong with me.
Yep, this is a very, very common reason for procrastinating. It’s also why procrastination, even though it’s often associated with laziness, is a fairly common trait in a lot of people with anxiety and perfectionism issues.
Also, from a bahavioural perspective, you “learn” to procrastinate. When you feel worried or anxious about something you have to do and then you procrastinate, the first thing you feel is relief. This is negative reinforcement and it takes time to “unlearn” procrastinating, because for a lots of things you don’t get rewards right away.

ATTENTION READERS
I am looking for advanced readers! That means a free copy of my sequel YA fantasy novel in exchange for an HONEST review! (if you haven’t read the first one already, that means you get 2 free books!)
I would, but it’s probably too late isn’t it?
It is not too late @kalicdeception!!! If you’re interested, shoot me an email at kfrancesauthorextraordinaire@gmail.com or fan mail/ask me here on tumblr!
Everybody, offer still stands. I need advanced readers! Let me know if interested!

Looking for Collaborators for Cultural Resource for Writers
Hello!
This is a project I have been working on for a while. I have been striving to create boards for every nation that I come across while perusing the internet - my main focus on the ones that are not often in the spotlight when it comes to books and films in Canada (and USA).
My goal originally was to explore diverse possibilities in my own writing; I have been surprised many a time by how much my preconception of each culture was dependent on stereotypes, by how diverse even the tiniest country can be.
You can see my full spread of boards on my Pinterest - scroll down for countries.
But now I need help.
As the boards expand, I find myself swamped with the nuances of specific cultures within one country, specific tribes that span across multiple countries, and areas of political and historical turmoil where borders become blurred in times of war.
I no longer feel adequate to do this alone.
One of our followers brought this to our attention (thanks, @makamu-a-tumbling!). A very worthy project and a great resource for those interested in writing more diverse characters! Please check this out (I’m going to be following it for sure, I use Pinterest a ton for writing references and resources) and help if you can - and if you can’t, boost the signal so that we can find people with the knowledge to assist! Thanks!
