Procrastinating

Dator,Joe. Cartoon. The New Yorker. 6. Jan. 2020

It was but a brief discussion in class that was about a cartoon that was handed out in class. In the brief discussion, I had compared it to myself. Which at first, I simply laughed in my head about it, but with further thought, I could say that I do this too. I simply say to myself that I am a Master of Procrastination, but it is simply a way to make myself feel better.

In the cartoon, it was simple but direct and to the point as to why the man could not write. The cartoon gives a simple explanation as to why the man could not write.

  1. Procrastination is weird for me. There are times where I feel I desperately need to write something to remain emotionally healthy, but I can’t overcome the terror of a glowing white screen. Other times I can get hit with a wave of inspiration after 10 PM and the realization I haven’t felt productive the entire day. All that to say I definitely struggle with prostrating and don’t have the magical way to fix it. As Douglas Adams said, “It takes an awful long time to not write a book.”

  2. Brandy, “Procrastinating” offers a thoughtful look at the Joe Dator cartoon that we examined in class. Eliminating repetition and including more concrete, significant details would strengthen the writing. For instance: what particular items in the cartoon’s caption are ones that are forms of procrastination for you? Note that there should be a space after the comma in the caption. Also, 2020 should be followed by p. 39. I inadvertently left that off of the copies that I distributed in class. Also note that your blog post should include an image that documents part of your writing process away from the screen.
