If there’s one thing I learned in the Runagogo challenge, it’s that if I truly think I won’t be able to do something, I write about it. On the days that I HAVE to get out there and run or risk dropping too far behind, but I just can’t face it, I can’t put the running clothes on, just can’t do it, then I go write a post about how hard it is to get motivated, and then I immediately go run, no problem.
So I’m hoping that tack will work here. Because yo, I can’t get motivated. It’s my first official week of Writeagogo (yours too? What a coincidence!), and I will just die if I don’t hit my target of three thousand words this week. And so far, on day four, I got nothin’. Yet. Ask me in half and hour.
How ’bout you?

i’m at 1500 words of junk. i’m just trying to not think about it – just mark it down as 1500 and move ON.
I hear you, Jen, that’s about what I’m at, myself. I worked on Story A until it suddenly turned into a train wreck, with bits and pieces flying everywhere. Then I started work on Story B, wrote about 2/3rds of it, and it ground to a sudden halt, plot-wise.
So now I… uh… yeah. Well for one thing I’ve broken my Write-A-Go-Go resolution to not go online on the weekends, obviously. (I had to transfer funds, and… it was all downhill from there.)
Maybe our collective motivation will be reborn on Sunday.
