I’ve been a lousy blogger lately.

But I can absolutely justify it—because I’ve been a lousy writer lately too. :grin:

The things I already have out there in submission-land have no doubt turned to dust by now. The couple of new things I have finished need revising. Haven’t done it. The new things that need finishing—haven’t finished ‘em. And it’s not that they’re boring or don’t deserve finishing. They’re good stories.

So I need to get my ass in gear and become more motivated.
And it occurs to me that the biggest motivators are success–and failure.
So maybe that middle-ground, that phantom zone between the two worlds, is the buzz-killer, ‘coz I feel sorta stuck there.

What do you do to motivate yourself when just the desire for success doesn’t seem to be enough?
