Writing #2

Sadly, I'm not feeling particularly productive this week. I've only written about 1,000 more words on my book, which is pretty bad, since I was averaging pretty big numbers for a while. Usually I would blame this lack of productiveness on depression or ADHD, but that is not the case right now. I even have the story planned out for the next three or four chapters, I just can't seem to write. I have a new story idea circulating around in my brain, and it gotten a bit of my attention, but even this one hasn't encouraged me to write.

I go through this predicament quite regularly, I believe it is a lack of motivation. I hate to say that, because I'm quite motivated to finish this novel, excited to debut it, but I'm just not feeling it right now. I have looked at other projects, but it seems that I'm going to have buck up or shut up. I had this problem a lot with school, it was never that I didn't want to do it, just that I couldn't bring myself to finish that homework or study of a test. I often find myself with the motivation to do a lot for a short period of time, but my steam starts to run out, and I just stop.

I hate this lack of doing, so I'm going to do some editing, pick a name for my newest protagonist, and see if I can crank out the next thousand words of my story.

Taila Out.
