Jennifer looks at motivation.
Things that sap my writing energy:
Too many late nights in a row
Emotional turmoil
Stress
Insecurity
Things that renew my writing energy:
Encouragement
Critique partners
Emails from editors
Reading good books
Wishing you all positive writing energy this week!
I do most of my writing late at night, so mine would be 'Having to get up early' - and 'Running out of Diet Coke'! Agree with you about all the 'renewal' items.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to get back into the "word flow" after I have been unable to write for a day or two or three due to other life demands.
ReplyDeleteI'd add 'good reviews' to the renewal category!
