I wrestled with and lost to the "fuck it" beast a lot.<BR/><BR/>For me, it was about prioritizing the things I love to do so I won't scatter so much. Then on the top priorities try to set long term goals to reach after as well as short term.<BR/><BR/>For writing, I stick to the old cliche of "write every day." If you're not inspired to write, do something that supports it (promotional, research new markets, research for half-baked story ideas, edit stories that haven't sold, whatever.)<BR/><BR/>I started writing every day, with very rare exception in early 2004. Before that I was an occasional writer.<BR/><BR/>Whatever you do, try to keep working, even when you don't feel like it. Some of the writing I feel best about came when I didn't feel like writing.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>CraigCraig Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101869420537661374noreply@blogger.com
