So, today’s assignment was this, in part: Today, write a response to one of these tweets. Shape your post in any way you choose — agree or disagree with the tweet, or use it as a starting point for a story, personal essay, poem, or something else.
Now, while I dislike Twitter, I see its uses, and have an account. I won’t disclose it here. In any case, I decided I’d look no further than the five tweets our hostess suggested, being unwilling to go onto Twitter. I chose this one:
I can’t decide if procrastination kills creativity or is essential to it. ~Grant Snider
Procrastination has always been my biggest failing (and I want no lectures about it here, thank you!), but I always seem to get there in the end, and usually on time, so I haven’t let it conquer me — yet!
Anyway, I thought about writing a response to this pithy saying, but wanted to put it off until tomorrow. Then, it dawned on me that putting it off would not be helpful, so I decided to write about it.
However, since nothing creative has come from this effort, I’ve come to the conclusion that procrastination must be essential to creativity.
On the other hand, that proves nothing. I might still be uncreative tomorrow.
What can I say?
Well, it’s chores and nighty-night for me, folks!
Nice being here, albeit for only a short while this evening!

On the other hand, I did write a poem on July 26th about this very topic, Procrastination.
Would I be considered lazy if I made a link to it here?
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!
