Feeling Lazy...

 

I don't want to do anything. Even this blog post is an effort, because I just want to lie in bed, eat junk food and watch TV. I don't know why or what is causing this lethargy when it comes to writing and work, but whatever it is, there's no contest between romance writing and napping. Napping is kicking writing's butt. 

Writing Slump

It's not just writing. It's an everything slump, but writing is the thing that's taking the biggest hit. When I can't be bothered to go to the day job, I still have to, or I get fired. The same isn't true of writing. If it were, I'd drag the motivation out from somewhere. I've got half-written romance books that aren't getting any further along. 

Nothing to Say

The problem with being this lazy is that I'm not really motivated to do anything, and that means I have nothing to say. Nothing to write about. Nothing to post about. My head is empty. And I can't imagine it getting better as the weather gets wintery and the evenings get darker. 

One Word at a Time

I don't really have a cure for this idleness, except to take it slowly and let the story progress, one word at a time. Maybe I'll go crazy and take it ten words at a time, after all, that's better than zero words. First a sentence, then a paragraph which grows to be a page. The books will get written extremely slowly, but surely. 

I'm not sure when this slump will end, but I'll trudge through it until it does.
