Lackadaisically sort of writing, as the mood strikes.

Lackadaisical.

I am being positively lackadaisical about Out Of Bounds.

I have kicked my butt into writing two scenes this weekend. Two! That's ridiculous.

What will it take to motivate me into writing that practice session scene? Hmm?


ETA: I think I'm just tired. It has been a tough two weeks on the home front.

Is it possible?

Is it possible that part of you doesn't want to finish? You've had this story in your life for a long time. Maybe you don't want to give it up.

Perhaps you could think a little about the next story you'd like to write, to remind your subconscious that finishing Out of Bounds isn't really "ending" anything.

No. I'm tired. I've been writing it so long. Like a marathon runner, when you get the finish line in sight, suddenly you realize how bone tired your body is.

Agreed, but, again, I find it invigorating to think of the next project -- usually something really different.

If you would like some inspiration, however, you might ask yourself... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB-oiuPDnco)

I dunno, internetname. Jogging alongside a tired marathon runner, telling them to think about running again?

I love that South Park song. Brian Boitano was asked about it in an interview and he was very amused.

Well, how about jogging alongside a tired marathon runner, telling them to think about drawing a picture next time?

Love the whole movie, myself.

How about an inspirational picture?



/Note to self: you are not good at inspirational pictures.

Ha. He looks like he's doing the robot.

I'm going to go back to the music, see if that gets my engines revved up. It has been a rough two weeks for WG and I, so no doubt that's been a factor.

You know what I always thought would be an awesome skating song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLFZzInXAWI)?

It's like you can hear the skates in the background.

Ah, but you can't have lyrics in competition music.

I'm downloading songs from The English Patient, see if there's anything I can use.

Ooo. Composer Michael Kamen did the music for Lethal Weapon. Guys would go for that.

You realize I now have the Talking Heads running through my mind... "You might ask yourself... how do I work this?"

I posted what I have instead of trying to finish the whole thing and post it in one dramatic splot. It's been a WiP this long after all, it can be a WiP a little longer (http://icarusancalion.livejournal.com/841262.html).

::runs off to read::

Oh my, that was fun!

Now write more!

/and as the days go by
let the water hold you down...

Re: Is it possible?

Okay. I will write more. *g*

water flowing over ground
same as it ever was
