I have all of these ideas for the novel. I write them down in brief notes for myself, usually because I'm working and I cannot elaborate on them at the particular moment when the idea hits.
...So my issue is that, when I get off work I have every intention of elaborating on the ideas I had throughout the day, but somewhere between getting in my car and arriving at home, I lose the motivation to write. It's strange, because I thought I'd be so much more inspired to write when I'm at home, on my own computer and in my own room. As it turns out, the majority of my ideas and motivation have come when I'm working. It's a bit ironic that the one place and time I cannot sit down and write anything for longer than a half an hour is the place and time when I want to do all my writing.
Fooooor example, I'm working right now, and I have nothing to do because it is very slow in the store right now. Here I am, writing about writing, but I know as soon as I get a decent idea for the story and begin to type it up in great detail, it will get busy. Then, by the time it slows down it'll be time for me to leave and I'll go home, open up my Google Drive and sit there staring at the screen until I go to a different website and play games or watch something on Netflix.
It's scary, because NaNoWriMo starts in eight days. EIGHT DAYS. I have enough written to upload on the first day and still be on schedule but I'd like to be ahead so I can keep motivated.
MOTIVATION,WHERE ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU BETRAYING ME?!
