Of course, I write source code rather than novels, but the feeling is the same. I am currently working on "revising" some code that I wrote a couple of years ago to improve how it integrates with other pieces of code. I'm having a tough time getting motivated to start. <BR/><BR/>When I can't find motivation, I waste away my day finding all manner of distractions to justify not starting; i.e. checking my email 3 or 400 times an hour and responding to email that I would normally leave unanswered (RE: Viagra Rocks), reading blogs of everyone I know and hitting the refresh button on the off chance that a new entry has been posted in the time that it took me to read the last entry, reading through newsgroups and responding to customer concerns, completing that <I>really</I> important online training that I've been putting off for the last 3 years. It's a woeful existance.<BR/><BR/>Once I do actually get started, my biggest problem with revising is fighting the urge to rewrite. It is almost as if my code has an expiration date. If I let it sit long enough I can be guaranteed that when I come back to it I will wonder what the hell I was thinking when I originally wrote it. Do you experience a similar effect with your writing?svoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012274979551083167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14843205.post-1128408907365320812005-10-04T00:55:00.000-06:002005-10-04T00:55:00.000-06:00Wow Master Fob, you are quite attractive.

He recently did a book signing in the BYU Bookstore and wrote all his former students, begging us to stop by and see him because he was scared of being there for a full two hours and not having anyone actually want to have their book signed. The point is, I'm lazy. He wrote a book and I use anything as an excuse not to write.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14843205.post-1128392966632020852005-10-03T20:29:00.000-06:002005-10-03T20:29:00.000-06:00Say it with me: revision is fun.
