It's November. I'm supposed to be writing a novel draft.
Instead I am sorting out plant pictures. There are thousands of them neatly filed under plant names.
The pictures for each plant must be looked over. Pictures are chosen to show the plant, the front and side of the flower, the top and bottom of the leaf, the stem and the fruit or seed capsule. Each chosen picture is cropped and resized and filed away in yet another file to wait for being included in pages about that plant.
Killing frost has put an end to adding to the picture stockpile. Perhaps I may work my way through it over the winter.
In the meantime the pictures make an excellent excuse to not work on my novel draft. Both do need to get done. The draft has a deadline.
Priorities can be difficult at times.
