Happy April 1st...or Happy April Fool's Day!
Don't you think it's a bit of a double whammy to have April
Fool's on a Monday? Me too.
With that, I find myself lacking in the motivation
department...especially when I am staring at two projects (one contemporary and
another CC project), both of which are due very, very soon. So like all good
writers, I found my little mouse roaming the internet 'researching' (known to
everyone else as procrastination).
And found this little tidbit when browsing comments on
Amazon:
"The biggest thing for you to do is get rid of your motivation. That's right. Throw motivation out the window because that idea will dry up fast. You must have a strong work ethic and drive. Believe in yourself and have fun!"
Omigosh. Was this guy talking to me?? Nope. But were the cosmos? Yep. That was a great big smack on
the back of the head by greater powers. At least for me.
As a person, if I don't buckle down...nothing gets accomplished,
good or bad.
As a writer, if I don't sit down and put fingers to keys...nothing
gets written, good or bad.
Another favorite quote of mine - from a Chinese fortune cookie of
all places - is: Begin...the rest is
easy. I find that to be true. If I never start...I never have the
opportunity to finish.
So, I'm off to write. Good or bad. J
Before you go...do you have a favorite quote you'd like to share?
