lazy period

mood: lethargic
I'm going through sort of a dark phase right now... And I don't mean dark in a good, sexy way with pounding electronic bass, either. I just can't seem to motivate myself to do all the stuff I should be doing. Finding it very hard to write, although I'm trying to force myself to. In a really sick way I miss working for the various groups who tell me what to do and then I follow orders. What I want to develop is the ability to follow my own orders.

If this helps at all: I just finished a story which was completely eating my lunch the entire time I was composing and writing it. I have to send it out by Mar 31, it's hard sf, and the science in it is based on physics I barely understand. I got it done by repeating something a writer I know, Alethea Kontis, was quoted saying on the Codex website: "Never underestimate the value of Butt In Chair."

I spent the entire time I was writing saying "Butt in chair, butt in chair" as a mantra as I alternately would sit and stare at the keyboard and write a sentence.

I got it down.

Never say die.

Yuck. Hope it lifts soon. There was an NPR thing on how small bouts of depression make us healthier and more productive in general in life. Can't remember where I read it. Not that it helps when you're in it. Take care, James Bear.
