I Was Almost Too Apathetic To Write This Post.

Has anybody seen my writing motivation? And if so, could you please return it to me?

I know what I'm doing with my remix story at this point. I've got some words and images and bits of characterization in my brain that just need to be shaped and organized a little bit and, you know, written down, and then I'll have at least half of what should ( Read more... )

writing, my brain

I've been feeling the same way. I owe livii a Seven and Mel story, and I've got the skeleton of an idea (ah, one plot point and the ending), but need to flesh it out. But my writing motivation is sorely lacking. Maybe it's the nice weather, or the hockey playoffs or what-have-you, but my muse has tucked itself away into a corner of my brain and is laying low for sure.

I'm not sure what it is in my case, either. Probably I can't pin it on any one thing, just a general lack of ambition. Although my overloaded work schedule last week, or my current state of being somewhat physically tired from doing yard work surely aren't helping.

Well, at least I'm getting a lot of books read, as that's the one thing I do still feel like doing lately.

I'm especially demotivated because I already have a shiny 2500 word story queued up and ready to post... as soon as I get word that Big Finish has rejected it. *sighs*

Well, hey, maybe they'll actually want it. I'd think that might be a nice motivational jolt. :)

It'll be with my get-up-and-go, no doubt (got up and went years ago).

Perhaps we should put up posters. "Have you seen my motivational energy? If so, please call..." :)

Well, it's sort of how I feel most of the time, I'm afraid. But I do have occasional bursts of writing motivation, so maybe there's only so much to go round and someone has temporarily borrowed yours.

Ah, a Law of Conservation of Writing Energy? I could just about believe that :)

I can see the symptoms of being overloaded. Your motivation is still there, waiting for you to grab it. No more coffee...try a glass of wine...of chocolate.It is good for motivation!!!

Oh, man, I've been having far too much chocolate lately. But maybe that's a good excuse... :)

Mine seems to be on a trip around the galaxy and got lost... maybe yours is on the same astral, err, plane :)
