Zero Words Club

24. apr.

Merchandise for professional procrastinators.

My seven years as a student have been nothing but a seven year long procrastination game, mostly doing something else that what I "should" be doing. Instead of reading the syllabus, I've been developing my skills in Affinity, learning new software, drawing, or doing freelance work. The funny thing is that I've become pretty good at procrastinating, acing term papers and exams each semester despite writing most of them the night before deadline. I am not saying it's optimal, but it's just how it is. Those who know, know!

So during one of the way too many caffeine-fueled allnighters, when I yet again stared at blinking cursor on a blank page, I got a message from a friend. He wondered how my paper was coming together.

I replied I had written "zero words".

So had he.

"I guess we're the zero words club, then", I replied. "Better make some merch!".

Later I put the design up on Everpress, and suddenly fellow procrastinators from New Zealand, Taiwan, Germany, United Kingdom and other countries, were ordering merchandise of the now worldwide phenomenon of "Zero Words Club".
