Procrastination

My response to this weeks writing challenge.

She sits at her desk, a coffee in front of her, beside it screen is her phone. Her laptop open but ignored as she slowly strokes the leaves on the money plant.

Ironic really, she had a deadline for the article, it has to be submitted today but her mind is blank.

She can usually turn out an article in a few short hours but she's been struggling with this topic all week now and all that she has typed is the title word.

She drinks her coffee, puts a few drops of plant food in the pot holding her money plant and twirls her phone round, still nothing.

She visits the ladies room, looks out the window to check the weather and then returns to her desk.

She reorganises her desk drawer and the pot that holds her pens and pencils, but still her mind is blank.

Who'd have thought it would be so difficult to write an article about procrastination.
