Losing the will to… write! (Day 10)

We’re into the double digits – day 10 and it’s the first day I really didn’t feel like writing; there’s a steep and slippery slope stretching out before me.

See I’m notorious for starting projects and going guns blazing for the first week or two.  Once the novelty wears off and the struggle begins, I’m off to newer greener far more interesting pastures.

My sticking power is weak at best.

It’s so difficult to stay motivated.  The main reason I’m here tonight is because I feel a little external pressure thanks to announcing my daily scribbles plans to the public.

I’d feel a real plonker if I failed after only ten days.

And that’s why these posts are so short; approximately 250 words each, nothing too fancy or too challenging, literally just a quick scribble of whatever comes to mind.

But everyday.

Not a few times a week then nothing for months.  Not once a month….

Everyday.

And it might be crap or maybe nobody else reads it or maybe I walk away from the computer sometimes questioning why I made this dumb plan when every word I’m typing is utter rubbish and I could be doing a hundred other better things…

But still I need to do it.  The last time I wrote so constantly and consistently was in 2015 when I wrote my book of travelling to India to meet my husband.  My skills as a writer developed into something quite extraordinary creating a book that I’d never before imagined possible.

All from the simple act of writing a little every day.

Like I just did here.

Ciao darlings!
