Acting "As If"

I've always loved the philosophy of acting "as if" you were already where you really want to be in your particular stage of life.  I am taking a week off of work and pretending that I am already a freelance writer and depend on my work for my total income. What a challenge!  It's the first day and I'm already getting sidetracked, already procrastinating - I need to prove to myself that I can do this! Goals of the week:  Find new writing jobs, work on the ones I already have and ditch the ones where I make two cents a day.  I'm off!
