Whine Warning! I Don’t Want To Write Today!

Darn! It’s cloudy and chilly here in San Diego – and it’s been like this for several days. Okay, I’m a total weather wuss… but the gloom makes me want to go to bed with a novel, not write. At least I think I can blame the weather.
Well, there’s another truth here too. The chapter I need to be working on is, frankly, boring to me at the moment. On the whole, the project is interesting, but I’m feeling sort of stuck and definitely uninspired.
What I will do is write… for at least an hour. What do you do when you don’t want to write?
Write well and often,
Two newsletters:
Abundant Freelance Writing – a resource for freelance writers including 3x a week job postings.
Writing With Vision – for those who want to get a book written.
When I don’t want to write, I think about having unpaid bills, and inspiration seems to magically appear!
lol, Hayli, that works too… got some decent work done.
Um… I write anyway. :-) Feeling guilty is MUCH worse than writing resistance, which tends to fade after ten minutes.
The guilt lasts all day, not to mention the stress of thinking about today’s writing piled on top of tomorrow’s writing: that’s enough to bring on a migraine.
yeah, that’s what I did, and do… and sometimes it helps to whine first ;)
