    Admit what you are holding back on doing on. give reasons.

    -chapter 4 of war for equestria prelude because this is gonna be a very important chapter that I'm going to submit to ED. it requirs three times more effort than normal.

    I procrastinated from my war for equestria prelude fiction so much that I instead wrote (and completed) an entirely different story.

    :(

    Procrastinating finishing and starting pony fics. And beating Final Fantasy VI (Pony Mod) and Final Fantasy tactics advance.

    The pony fics is just that when I start writing the story in detail, it feels more like work than anything else.

    The games are starting to reach that point in the game where it's not that fun anymore.

    Procrastinating on making my first pony mix and probably about 50 other songs I've got in my head.

    Reasons: Software limitations or laziness, whichever makes me feel better.

    Procrastinating on: Pretty much everything I mentioned in the To Do List thread.

    Reason: I've been cooking up ideas for the "A Shadow Over Ponyville" RP and working. Both are coming along rather well.

    I usually procrastinate all the time. However, over the past few weeks, I have been getting on with my work. But when the new school year starts, that's when the procrastination will begin.

    Also, unless I'm understanding it wrong, what this doing in the collaborations sub-forum?

    no one procrastinates more than those with a project on their to do list.

    btw heres a funny story.

    http://www.fimfiction.net/story/26739/The-End-of-the-Crusade

    heres the fiction I wrote.

    chapter 1 is the story. only 300ish words (its meant to be because the shortness gives the punchline impact)
    chapter 2 is the filler I used to go over the 1000 word limit and even said so in a disclaimer (one of the best pony prose I've written actually).

    It failed moderation even though it completely follows the rules of being a pony story and being part of canon of the main plot.
    the mod is miffed at the disclaimer but I did indeed write another chapter to be part of the story. The mod HAS to approve it or I got proof that fimfiction has a crooked mod crew.

    I have made trollestia proud.

    not bad for an act of procrastination.


    *edit
    still stuck on doing that new equestria chapter and leaning on doing my special one

    I'm putting off my fanfic and parody to learn astral projection and a way to stop the child abuse problems my parents have. And to learn to make music

    I've been procrastinating learning how to make music, because I'm afraid of being an utter failure at it and it all just seems like it's way over my head. I'm afraid to approach any musicians about it, because I feel they would just get frustrated with me (or they just taught themselves, and thus don't know how to go about teaching someone else). So yay for insecurities I guess? :sigh:

    Been working on a job application and tweaking my resume for like a month now. But in my defense, it is for a VERY lucrative career position.

    Still though, I coulda had it done weeks ago if I knuckled down and did it... But I'm almost finished. One last phone call and it'll be ready to get mailed out. ::S:

    Procrastinating on: Finishing a Mosin-Nagant model, a Chainsaw model, a drawing, a song I started months ago, and working on a custom Gmod pony.

    Reason: Laziness.

    Not necessarily procrastination, but I've put off my musical pursuits until I finish The Quiet Place--whenever that may be. (It's already going to be over 30 full-length chapters.)

    Awaiting me when I'm ready: FL Studio 10, Ableton 8 with VST/plugins iZotope Ozone 5, an outdated Nexus, and NI Massive.

    But I mean, making music will be difficult. Music theory, song structure, melodies and dissonance, mixing and mastering--there's just so much to know. :\
