So what are YOU doing to procrastinate today? I'm looking up gifs of octopuses walking to find one that's a match for how I visualize my tentacle aliens parading down the spaceship hallways.

("It's not a shambling, dragging-their-bodies kind of walk; they call themselves Strongarms for a reason. Oh, this one's pretty close. Maybe that cartoon...")

#amwriting #amprocrastinating #it's an important part of the creative process okay #or so I tell myself #writer life #aliens #octopus #octopuses #octopi #did you know 'octopi' isn't necessarily the right way to pluralize the word?#because it came from a different language than the one that does that?#I'd look up the specifics but I've procrastinated enough already #...okay I looked it up anyway and both are common #anyways on with the show
