Writing motivation
Aug. 13th, 2015 08:52 amHave somehow gotten behind on DW posts - will catch up later today. This has been a bit of a whirlwind of a week.
I am >thisclose< to being done with the novel. Six scenes. SIX I TELL YOU. But I've been having a hard time motivating myself to sit down and type away.
Part of it is that I feel like I'm scrambling to make ends meet, and isn't it amazing how much brain-space not having enough money takes. The other part of it is that I genuinely have a lot of projects I need to work on before we go backpacking.
But I think another part of it is that I don't want the writing to end. Which is silly, because there will be SO MUCH editing to do, and I'll need to add and expand scenes, and things like that.
But today. Today I will write. Today I am putting aside other things, and I am focusing on the novel, because today I can.
Will report back.
