Maurice Vaughan I guess procrastination isn't one of the traits. How disappointing.

Haha Debbie Elicksen. Sadly, it's not. A lot of times when I procrastinate, I just have a quick mental pep talk and that gets me back to work.

I would have added baking, Maurice Vaughan. As in pie. And for Debbie Elicksen I'd bake Procrastination Pie as long as she shares a bite. ;o)

Question for everyone: Are there any other key characteristics of successful writers?

Haha! Lazy whip. Love that Maurice Vaughan. As far as other characteristics go, I’d say character. The ability to follow through on your word is gold.

Character is a great key characteristic of successful writers, Leonardo Ramirez! When I get hired for a job, I like to ask for extra time (even if I can finish the job sooner) so if something comes up, I won't miss the deadline. That way I'll keep my word.

That’s a great way to manage deadlines, Maurice Vaughan! But aside from that, I have zero doubt that you’re a man of your word, my friend.
