Well, I picked it up again.
And wow, has it been hard to be motivated. About a week after I put up the previous post, I got a cut on my eye, which also caused a condition called iritis. Needless to say, not fun. And even though I was functional for most of my recovery, it was still a very demotivating thing. It's hard enough to get working when you're healthy, let alone when you have blurry vision.
I was laying on my couch this evening, thinking about my lack of work on the writing and the blog, when it came to me. Why not now?
It's a momentum issue. Once you stop rolling that metaphorical boulder it's so much harder to get it going again. Once I get used to not editing the book, it's so much harder to pick it up again. Do I really have to face that embarrassing writing again? After going for a week (then two, then more) without updating the blog, it gets easier to let that go by, too.
Granted, the work I did today was very short, but at least it counts as something. I actually picked up the thing and worked again. If editing is a boulder, I started to budge it a little. And hopefully that's a first step in getting rolling.
