Sean, you have my complete sympathies. I have been in that state very, very often. Would using Written:Kitten! help for motivation?
Although I'm a Scrivener fanatic
I've become hooked on Scrivener! My project is all organized and stuff!
Hi. I'm procrastinating. I
should
be recording the podcast/radio show thing that was supposed to have been done, oh, last week. I feel weird admitting this, but I think I have stage fright.
::hangs head in shame
Interesting, le n. Although it won't help with the TV, or my lack of good workstation. I need to find a better place to write. Not having a car of any kind really doesn't help with this.
Seriously. Annoying.
However, we really are in the wrong in terms of making a super-dumb mistake in taking the gig. It was to repair the cylinder of an ancient gate lock. We fixed that, then the bolt spring broke.
We originally suggested the lock be replaced. The owner said no. We should have walked away.
It's my job to communicate with people in such a way that they do what we want and don't badmouth us to the neighbors. I just wish we didn't make such blatant errors that I then have to smooth over. ERgh.
Written? Kitten! Every "x" amount of words you input, you get a new kitten picture. It's silly, but sometimes it does get me to keep writing when I hate everything.
Where's Written? Hottie! I could do with that. I mean, I have nothing to write, but I could start.
I still thinking semi-seriously of opening a Writing Dominatrix Muse service.
"Hands on the keyboard! SNAP! Don't edit -- just type, dammit. Oh, you like that, do you? Harder! Faster! Less adverbs! DO IT!"
I keep eyeballing Scrivener. Hmm.
bonny, bitching at people is pretty easy. Tact is (just not saying true stuff) hard.
Written?Kitten! is open-source; should be a simple enough matter to throw in some other photo feed...
Less adverbs!
Noooooo! I love my adverbs!
Okay, here's the deal I just made with myself. Tomorrow I record TWO shows. Tonight, I finish writing the notes for them. Part of this is due to stage fright, part of this is due to still feeling like crap, and I know that will affect my performance.
(If I show up in thread tomorrow, everyone feel free to poke me about doing the recording.)
