(I've got the tune to "Anticipation" running through my head)

Long ago, I came to the conclusion that I wasn't a procrastinator so much as I was a binge worker. I recognized early in life that I worked best when I could focus completely and finish whatever I was working on in as close to one sitting as was humanly possible. In law school, that meant outlining an entire semester course in a single day. It wasn't about waiting until the last minute, but about the fact that what really, really worked for me was to synthesize an entire subject in 18 intense and uninterrupted hours--in that time, I reviewed, rewrote, rephrased and internalized an entire legal subject.

Three different times, I've written an entire novel in a month. Three other times I started novels when I didn't have much free time intending to work on them little by little, and they dragged on for years. None of them are done. I'm all about immersion. It's just who I am. It's how I write.

Except right now, today, in this blog post, I've taken it to a whole new level. This isn't about immersion, or about focus. I'm blogging on this new (sixth, if you don't count the MySpace one I never write on) blog here at Cre8Buzz because I owe someone a response to a very interesting, very challenging meme on my RockStories blog.

That's right. I'm blogging to avoid blogging.
