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.

Re: Writing

If I wrote fiction then I would personally find out who Joe Haldeman's or Jon(?) Ringo's agents are/were and run it by them. They are two of my favorite authors and if I wrote something other than manuals or technical papers I would want to write like them.

Can you tell I've got a few minutes between set ups today and am not doing work on my thesis? Not even pretending?
