Reading for pleasure: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Reading for school: Lacan
Writing/editng work: Novel edit
When I get this close to finishing, I find that I procrastinate. I could be a good part of the way through my edit right now, but when I get home from work and have supper, my energy is gone. So I sometimes only get two pages edited. If I work well, I maybe get 10 pages edited. Editing is the most difficult part of the book for me, because it is picking apart what I've put down on the paper with love (most of the time).
At this point, since I stayed up late trying to get the paper edit finished, I'm ready for sleep. I figure that I deserve it, so I don't do much about it. But I wish I did have a bit more motivation. School is coming up; I know once I'm back, I won't have much time to work on my writing.
That is one thing that I have to work on: time for writing. I need to take the time that I have and start writing in it. It's not like I don't have time, I just don't take it. Somedays that is okay, but others I definitely need to pick up the pace.
We'll see how I do this term. And now I'll head back to work and when I get home, I'll get more the edit done. Just not as much as I ever hope.

Its the same thing with me... I write, and I am working on a piece right now, its come to the end of the first draft and now I need to work through and edit all these things and I am just way to lazy. I actually wonder if lack of motivation is in the genes (if it is it would be so much easier to have a scapegoat!)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in my response! My workload has been high since I started my term until the past couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteBut, yes...I can't believe how easily it is to fall into not working on something, even if you really want to...
