"Pro" 4: "Procrastinate," "Promise"

       I am writing "prose," though sometimes I cite verse.  Each has its use in my ongoing "project," this blog.  I have "cast ahead," planned and intended, as my description above says, "a daily entry of something interesting regarding language."  But what it requires is a regular application of the seat of the pants to a chair and the wiggling of fingers on a keyboard.

       In other words, I cannot "procrastinate"--"put forward to tomorrow" (cras meaning "tomorrow") what needs doing today.  If I miss the midnight deadline, I must make up the next day with two posts, or, I have failed what I've "projected."  And probably worst of all, I've failed myself.

       "So, Don, don't procrastinate, or your project won't fulfill its promise, i.e., what has been 'sent forth.'"
