What have you been putting off doing? Why?
I’m ashamed to say this but I will be honest, I have been neglecting my novel. I have been experiencing a lack of discipline and creative writing fatigue because creatively; writing down answers to prompts is oceans away from writing dialogue and descriptive writing. I wonder sometimes if I am doing a self sabotage, throwing excuse after excuse deliberately so that I don’t finish and then I don’t have to find out if it is unpublishable or something to that effect.
I really need to kick myself in the seat of my pants, because really, I do want to finish my book, all I have to do is write it. Gosh darn it.
Maybe you can set aside thirty minutes each day to do something on it. And, if inspiration strikes, it strikes! Otherwise, you can write notes or ideas.
You know exactly what advice to give, however my problem lies in getting my backside onto a chair and typing what is in my head. I know exactly what lies in store for my heroine and her love, I just have to DO IT and I am not for the moment. I’m yelling at myself internally, I will get there, I will eventually. 😉 🙂
I know exactly what you mean!
Crazy isn’t it? I can be very disciplined but this novel is giving me quite the challenge. I will do it, I will. Thank goodness for friends like you Jules, who sympathize and don’t judge. 🙂
Oh well, you are still far far nearer completion than me! I have a prologue and a few vague incidents and an idea for the rest.
I like the way we are each other’s cheerleaders through this process of writing and not and then writing again. It makes me happy.:)
The hardest part of writing is putting your bum on the seat and getting on with it.
Now put your bum on the seat and get on with it!
Aye! Aye! Captain Tilly 😀
