Help With Meta Motivation

[yui]

People, I've got a problem. Ever since NaNoWriMo in November, I haven't been able to write a single word of prose. And it's frustrating, because I feel like it would be really fun to do it. It would be great to start letting those words out, and post them for the world to see.

I know that I could flog myself into the routine again. But motivation to write is not something that i can just flip a switch for. Building motivation to write is as hard work as the actual writing. And for some reason, I can't be arsed.

(let's see if i get it right here)

I want to want to have motivation and drive enough to get into writing again.

How can I motivate myself to motivate myself?

Can someone pass the bong, please?

This might not be the sort of thing you are looking for, but have you considered dictating into a recorder? When I am too lazy to type or write in a notebook, I sometimes use a tape recorder to speak into. I have even used the voice record on my cell phone in a pinch. Once I get over the initial goofy feeling, it works quite well. Of course, I guard the recorder with my life. Lots of times, just listening to my ideas coming back at me jars something loose.

Luck,

Yui

Maybe you really don't want to write prose. Maybe you think youshould be or feel maybe it would be a good thing to do but in actuality you're just not in a prose kinda place right now.

maybe.

It is a possibility
