Lofty ambitions, zero motivation

[fencerm2]

How do you reclaim motivation?

There are so many things I want to be doing...and my current motivation is zero.

What is up with that? There is nothing wrong with my life right now, per se...so why do I have no energy, no desire to move forward on those things I want in motion?

I mean, some writer I'm turning out to be...its been far longer than I'd care to admit since I wrote something new...and I have been stuck on my current round of edits of my novel in the same spot for about a month or more now. Why can't I move this onwards? Why am I not writing?

This is the kind of rant I usually don't share - this is the sort of thing that goes into the paper journal. But I think I am putting this here because I am wondering if this is just me...or if there is something in the air? Not that that matters, really...its up to me to do what I need to do.

Blah. That's where I am at. Just...blah.

It seems as if a lot of people are lacking in motivation or drive this past week. But, I've got to second that I think a part of it is post Pennsic blues.

I can't seem to find any motivation to get much done around here. I'm not working on a novel or anything important like, but I'm finding that I just don't feel like doing anything at all. Despite the fact that I've got a list as long as my arm of shit that needs to get done.

I've got a couple of things in mind that may (or may not) jump start me. We'll see if it works.
