I'm a #writer of the three Gs: gods, ghosts, and (usually magical) girls.

She/Her. Neurodivergent. Ace. Unapologetically leftist. I even write with my left hand.

Say nice things about Detroit!

I don't have any instances of "procrastinate", but "put off" comes up in one of my favorite character introductions.
Anna Goodhawk began her day at 6 AM. It had been made painstakingly clear to her over the years that she could start it far later if she desired, that she could sleep in as late as she liked. It had even been made clear to her that she could entirely skip a day if she wished, that she could stay in her room and have meals brought to her and look at the literature she was given and the limited TV access she was allowed and put off whatever duties were required of her until she was ready to perform them. Within reason. Really she had a lot of freedom over her routine, but she chose to take her breakfast at 6 AM because it allowed her to view the sunrise exploding over the solidified lava pits to the east and if there was one thing that she did not find unpleasant about this place, it was the sunrise. If there was another, it was the lizards, the little blinking beige-and-brown lizards that poked their heads out of their dens and skittered over to her after years of feasting on her crumbs and listening to the things she cooed and murmured to them in the morning hours. She was seventy-seven years old and had officially been dead since she was in her forties.
