Book Promotion Extravaganza Day 8!

As I'm proofreading today, I'm realizing that I pretty much finished writing this book last March

LAST March.

Maybe the title should be:

Diary of a Procrastinator


It's remarkable what not having a deadline can do to me. 

The book felt a little sloppy and in need of one more honest proofread, so I kept telling myself I'd get around to it. And I suppose now I'm forcing myself to get around to it. But man, last March?


Ok, lets get to The Official Working Title of the day:

What I'm Doing When I Say I'm Doing Nothing


I liked this one, and it felt applicable, but its reign as The Official Working Title was short because I realized it sounds a lot like the Raymond Carver collection called, "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love"

And I had seen the Carver title before, so while I wasn't consciously ripping it off, I was probably subconsciously ripping it off.

But I'm looking at the Wikipedia page of the Carver book and seeing there are a lot of "What We Talk About When..." titles, so maybe I'll keep this in the running for now.
