Can Having a Niche Nix Procrastination?

If somebody were to look up the word procrastination in the dictionary, that person would find my picture next to the word, in bold, bright colors! I looked up the definition in several online dictionaries and I believe the clearest explanation that I found was at the Webster’s Online Dictionary site: 

Procrastination: “To postpone doing what one should be doing.”
Yup – that’s me. I found the synonyms - dillydally, drag one's feet, and shilly-shally, especially near and dear to my heart. However, the question I most often ask myself is why. Why do I dillydally? If I just did what I was suppose to do, I would be much further along, wouldn’t I? When comes to marketing my freelance writing business, I definitely shilly-shally. And once again, I ask myself why?
Having a flourishing home-based business is something I have dreamed of doing for years. My children are grown; I don’t have a controlling husband that wants my fullest attention. So what’s stopping me?
Fear of failure? Fear of Success? Fear of making a fool of myself?
Having my share of failures and successes in the corporate world and, of course, after making a fool of myself on a fairly regular basis, I should be long past those anxieties by now.

I think this a quote sums it all up.

Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried. Author Unknown
Isn’t that a great quote? I wish the author would step forward and announce his name; I would like to shake his hand. Unless, of course, he is in the grave.

In 2001, I found a disk that had traveled with me during my move from upstate New York to South Florida. On the disk was a rough draft of a novel that I had written in May of 1999. 1999! I had forgotten that I had it. Since I joined a writing group a year ago, it’s been on the back of my mind to dig it out. Gee – I guess that means I have procrastinated for on that one a while.
