Mine "laziness" is cyclical too but tends to be weeks at a time where I can't get anything decent done, then a few weeks where I can ... very frustrating!

Like, I'm strong on Mon/Tues, HORRIBLE on Wed, and mediocre on Thurs thru Sun. Siiiigh. I can't wait 'til I'm strong EVERY DAY. Then I might give myself Wed as a break. :P <abbr><em>Kristan’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/kristanhoffman/~3/J0HL0OxWBU4/" rel="nofollow">[Twenty-Somewhere] Episode 20: The pixie, the potato, and the pub</a></abbr></em> Gah, this “laziness” is a cyclical issue for me.

I've still got a series to continue and some people waiting for the outcome. That keeps me going but if I can't produce stellar work I'd rather not write at all. I've always found fiction writing harder but more enjoyable than writing nonfiction. It's keeping those creative juices flowing that's more daunting. Hi Amanda,

I just re-read that I said I'd be "instantly shamed" into writing again but - well - I wasn't. Maybe we need to look at it another way - all this internal thinking and planning is a necessary part of the process. Or are we just procrastinating? Anyway tell me when you get writing again. I hope it's soon. (and for me too!) Zoe, I hope it works for you, it hasn’t worked for me yet … I just re-read that I said I’d be “instantly shamed” into writing again but – well – I wasn’t.
