I haven’t really felt well in a month or so. I suspect the depression is creeping back in because we have had such a dreary, chilly Spring so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe thing is, if I don’t plant my butt in my chair and get some writing done, I won’t finish editing the book by the time the SCWA Conference rolls around in November–and I paid for an agent pitch. I did this on purpose to terrify me into finishing my work with a hard deadline. So far, it has not been working especially well but I intend to knuckle down this week and get back to the old grindstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a great part-time job where we’re almost never truly busy, so I have time to sit in the corner and type away in between customers (and the door is alarmed so I always know when someone is coming inside). That gives me time every day of the week to get something creative done, and I need to use that time before something happens to change things. You never know when business is going to pick up, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you know any great motivational techniques, please comment because I need some encouragement!<\/p>\n
