Complete lack of motivation....

Do you ever sometimes feel like just doing this?

That's how I feel today. And it's really annoying. Sure, there are some hormones involved, but either way, it's a beautiful day here in BC and I should feel way better than I do.

Somehow I think it has something to do with wanting the warmer weather. Now really, I shouldn't be complaining, considering what's been going on in Eastern Canada, especially Ottawa, this winter. However, all I wanted to do today was go outside with my Flypen and notebook and sit on the deck, brainstorming story ideas. But it's not warm enough to do that comfortably.

Despite all this, I can't just sit around and do nothing but play Scrabulous and Scramble on Facebook all day. So I'm just going to have to force myself to open that notebook and start working. Which means disconnecting from the internet.

Maybe later I'll take a walk in the bright sunshine to collect the mail.

What do you do to motivate yourself to work?

Getting back into the groove...

is proving a little more difficult than I thought. I need to get organized and find that part of the story that really got me into it in the first place. Plus, I have to follow through with my intention to work in the evenings. I didn't last night when I most definitely should have. After all, proofing isn't the most onerous task and as it's been a while since I've looked at my complete French Rev ms, the typos and missing words certainly jump out at me when I find them.

I'm pretty certain the mess on my desk is partly responsible, so I'm going to work on that today. Sean has been very patient about it, bless him, but it's time to clean things up. Do you find that when your writing environment is disorganized that you have problems with motivation?
