Why can't I find motivation to write? WHY??? Or at least, why can I not have motivation when I can use it, instead of a) right before I go to sleep as I'm lying in the dark; b) while I'm getting ready for work; c) during the drive home??? It's been like this for months. TSA2 is half done, I have a pretty clear idea of what I need to do for the rest of it, and I just have no will to do it. *weeps* I'd settle for being able to work on the smutty D/G, or even the Ron/Ginny that popped into my head this morning, but nope. All I seem to want to do is sit here.

Weekend, why aren't you here yet? I desperately need to clean, as I am behaving like a huge slob. Things need to be tidied, dishes need to be washed (as do clothes), bathrooms need to be cleaned, I haven't even used my new steamcleaner, the list goes on and on. And yet, what do I want to do? Sit here. Surf the net and maybe read some fanfic. (Speaking of, go read Pink by Luminous Marble -- it's gorgeous.)

And also, apparently, bitch and moan to my Live Journal.

I just like using this icon.

I'm glad you're not dead from the flu.

I'm glad you're not dead, period. I have not been bugged by heard from you in so long. You made us weep, precious.

DUDE. COME ONLINE ONCE IN A WHILE. I'll bug talk to you plenty.

I WAS THERE LAST NIGHT BUT YOU WEREN'T THERE. WHERE WERE YOU? WHO HAVE YOU BEEN CONSORTING WITH WHILE I WAS AWAY? Seriously, I felt like I was in 28 Days Later -- I wasn't about for two weeks and everyone online got decimated by rabid monkeys.

WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? I'M LOOKING BUT I DON'T SEE YOU!

I would never cheat on you, baby. You know I love you.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

All the cheaters say that.

I must go home now but will be on in a bit.

If you have root beer, it could be love.

IT'S ICED TEA, DAMMIT.

"IF THERE'S AN ICED TEA IN THAT BAG, IT COULD BE LOVE."

"MUST BE FATE, MULDER...ROOT BEER."

I loved how they shouted at each other in the car.

Will wait in eager expectation.

OMG I can't believe I messed up XF canon. What is happening to me??? I hardly recognize myself. Who have I become, I ask you?

Either that, or I was subconsciously trying to tell you that it's not love.

Ahahahaha, me too! All my ideas come to me as I'm trying to go to sleep, and I get all excited (sometimes to the point where I can't sleep) then I wake up in the morning and am a big ball of blah who doesn't want to do anything except go back to sleep and certainly not write. Although sometimes one just has to crawl out of bed and type because otherwise there will be no going to sleep. *see insane entry of today's wee morning hours*

And then getting out of bed to go hunt for my notebook is an ordeal that I often cannot face, especially as it means turning on the light and blinding me. Of course, I shouldn't stay up writing anyway, as this will just make me a zombie the next day when I actually need to be awake.

*see insane entry of today's wee morning hours*

Yes, but see, you wrote, didn't you? Insane, but industrious.

I think it must be something about the beginning of the year, because I have having a hard time writing myself. I've been working on the same story for months. Last week, I forced myself to sit down and start typing a chapter. I got through a page before I permitted myself to be distracted.

Part of the problem is that my office (in my home) is too cluttered with interesting things. I need to get a laptop with no Internet access and no games and sit in some plain, quiet corner of my apartment and just start typing. Because otherwise, it's too easy to jump up and start reading that mythology book or that historical novel or play a game on the computer or put on music or whatever I do when I want to distract myself.

I wish it were just about the beginning of the year. <g> But, like you, I've been working on the same thing for months! Still, I've found that it's a good strategy to just make myself sit down and write -- I just have to have the discipline to follow through with that every day. (Which I don't have. <g>)

You're right -- being at home or online is waaaaay distracting, and yet, if I didn't have those things, I'd get antsy. I've tried writing long hand while watching TV or something, but that's too frustrating since my brain goes way faster than my handwriting, and there's something about typing on a computer that lets ideas flow more freely. Sigh. So in other words, I know what the solution ought to be, but don't have the discipline to see it through. <g>
