Melissa Walker told me she uses a timer when she procrastinates, too. It sounds like there's something to that. :P
I have been a Readergirlz follower since the WLMA conference several years ago. Thanks for all you do for in promoting strong females!
For this I have just awarded you the versatile blogger award. Take a look here and enjoy!

Holly looks wicked. I wish that she could be my friend.
Holly is AWESOME!
Thanks so much, Anne. Since WLMA! That was such a fun visit.
Oooh, wicked. I've never been that before. Thanks, Kay!
What a cool award, Anne! Thank you!
Micol, yes, the timer keeps me in line. More than anything, it helps me outrun the internal critic.
LA, thanks. xoxo
