Lazy

  • Nov. 19th, 2008 at 10:53 AM

The good thing is that I am digging myself out of that sagging middle-- I'm over two-thirds done with SLEEPLESS.  And so it seems like I'm at a point of smooth sailing.  All the threads are where they should be, and now the ends just need to be tied up. 

Still, I can't get myself to open the Word document on my computer.  That is the hardest part.  When it is open and I start... easy!  But actually saying to myself, "you're gonna do this now!".... hard.  I wrote 5,000 words on Saturday in only a couple of hours, and I thought to myself, "Wow, can you imagine how prolific you would be if you did this every day?"  Think about it.  At that pace.... I could have a first draft in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.  Wow. 

But no, I'm not superwoman.  Since my 5,000 word writing binge several days ago, I've done nothing.  I'd even left off at an exciting point, which I'd hoped would incite me to start writing again the next time.  And I am sure it would... if I could just open the damn document on my computer.

Maybe tomorrow. :)

You sound like me. I can get Word open, even find the spot where I left off. But typing that first hundred or so words, which is what I need to really get going, that's where I find myself paralyzed most days. Why is getting started so blasted hard?
