All By Myself...

Things haven't slowed down a lot, but they seem to be heading in that direction. Which is really wonderful. And just in time for the craziness of the holidays. Which I happen to enjoy, so I say "craziness" with great affection.

I haven't gotten much in the way of writing, but my cp... has skipped town and left me here to work alone... *grumble grumble* At least she left me with some chapters to enjoy before abandoning me. And that has certainly brightened matters.

For whatever reason, I work a lot better when she's around. Maybe it's because she IMs me and says, "Are you writing?" And honest person that I am, I have to IM back and say, "No." And then she tells me how naughty I am for that. Which in turn causes me to jump on the writing. Hmmm... Maybe I need to find a surrogate cp to IM me while she's gone.

At least I have her chapters to work on while she's gone. What about you? Do you have someone who spurs you on, or are you totally self-motivated?

Well, I'm usually self motivated but if I'm doing terrible, I need someone to spur me on. I have a few people in the spur on posse to help me out.

So write April! Do I need to crack the whip? LMAO...

Actually, motivation isn't really my problem. I have serious trouble with time management. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I admit, I work better when my cps are handy on IM and tend to sorta sit there feeling abandoned when they're out of contact for awhile.

I so have to get better at self motivation :o)

It just depends. Usually my CPs can get me going, but lately I've been so crazy with the day job, writing time has been hard to come by.
