Have you ever struggled with getting something done?

I could receive a crown for procrastinating especially when it comes to the latest book I’ve been writing and I got so frustrated today that I had to check in with a close friend.

I’ll mull over it for an hour or so, but all in all, I can’t wait to cozy up to this book:
