In the grand realm of procrastinating, my skills rate pretty highly. I have mastered excuse-making, calendar-filling and even (occasionally, and my husband might not believe this) cleaning the house as a way to avoid doing the writing I, in fact, really want to do.

Web surfing is another killer, and look what I found: a quiz that asks Are you ever really going to finish that novel? I can only presume that quiz author Kevin Alexander has the same problems that I do. If you’re a fellow I-wanna-write-a-novel freak, try it yourself. My results turned out a little better than I expected:

Mostly Cs: You may finish your book, but it’s going to take a long time, and you don’t seem overly concerned. You look for excuses not to work and have no trouble passing the blame when things aren’t going well. Actually, you might already be a professional writer.

Or maybe Kevin was just being kinder than I deserved, because he’s just the same. I mean really, what aspiring novelist has time to write a quiz about finishing a novel? Or to blog about it??
