I'm in a slump and cannot seem to find my way out of it. I have had little or no motivation for the past several weeks to write. Just look at the date of my last blog post... I will wait. Sad isn't it?
I don't know what's wrong with me. Just before Christmas, I was writing more than ever. I even had a paying gig. I wasn't too excited about the topic, but I was motivated by having a paying gig. Since then, I can't even get motivated to write my own stuff, which I love doing. Is this some kind of mental slump or do I have the dreaded writer's block? Is it my subconscious trying to hold me back for some reason deeper than myself?
Whatever it is, I need it to go away soon. I want my novel to move forward so I can work on the plethora of other ideas that have been popping into my head. I want it to be finished so I can move on to the next one, but I simply cannot get motivated to write. Perhaps the prospect of actually finally finishing my life's project, thus far, has bogged me down.
Something's got to give somewhere. Motivation has to be hiding somewhere in the clutter of ideas and torment. I know where my novel is going, but I seem to be holding it back for some reason... If anyone had any ideas or some words of motivation and wisdom, they would certainly be most welcome.
Motivation of any sort would be helpful. Even the sick and twisted kind of motivation that Anne provides for Paul in Misery sounds helpful right now. I could do without the hobbling...
