Ninth in the 1K a Day Motivational Series, in which I talk about something that happened in the previous week that could have or did prevent me from writing a minimum of 1,000 words on a given day, or possibly talk about something that provided support to get me through the day.
Last week I talked about the water cooler mechanism and how social pressure or even just the desire to stay caught up on a variety of shows can lead to problems. This week I’d like to talk about that tendency to stop forward progress on what you’re doing and start working on something else. I call it “Beginning’s The Best Part”.

Eighth in the 1K a Day Motivational Series, in which I talk about something that happened in the previous week that could have or did prevent me from writing a minimum of 1,000 words on a given day, or possibly talk about something that provided support to get me through the day.
Last week I talked about needing that inspiration sometimes. Previously I have talked about games and their capacity to suck away your free time. So this time, I want to talk about the water cooler mechanism, which is not nearly as awesome as the antikythera mechanism. Continue reading

Seventh in the 1K a Day Motivational Series, in which I talk about something that happened in the previous week that could have or did prevent me from writing a minimum of 1,000 words on a given day, or possibly talk about something that provided support to get me through the day.
This past week I was working through some bad days at work, just in general feeling a little bit nonplussed about writing or creation in general. I’ve been spending so much more time writing this year on account of the challenge that I’ve been giving less time to the inspirational pursuits of reading, watching movies and TV, playing video games, and the like. By the weekend I had begun to feel particularly drained of inspiration, which is to say I wanted to stop writing.
It’s February 21st, 2015. A solid seven weeks in and the writing is just smooth as silk. Maybe not great writing, but the words are coming and coming with so much ease.
Days 46 through 52 have been successes, with a minimum of 1,000 words per day written. I had a rough week at work, but this the writing did not suffer as you will see.
Sixth in the 1K a Day Motivational Series, in which I talk about something that happened in the previous week that could have or did prevent me from writing a minimum of 1,000 words on a given day, or possibly talk about something that provided support to get me through the day.
This week saw the first holiday of the year in which I had the day off from work, that being Presidents Day. You might be thinking “Oh, an extra day off from work, he’ll totally have time to get around to writing a measly 1,000 words” but you’d be dead wrong.
It’s February 14th, 2015. Valentine’s Day for those of you in a relationship! It is time for the Week Six update!
Days 39 through 45 have been successes, with a minimum of 1,000 words per day written. There were a couple of days where my motivation to do much more than sit around playing Dying Light were almost overwhelming, but I stuck it out! Continue reading
Fifth in the 1K a Day Motivational Series, in which I talk about something that happened in the previous week that could have or did prevent me from writing a minimum of 1,000 words on a given day, or possibly talk about something that provided support to get me through the day.
This one’s gonna get angry. Strap in.
Some days are more draining than others. Some sap you mentally, or physically. You’re too tired or brain is too fried. Happens all the time, to everyone. Too mentally tired happens to me multiple times a week. But I’ve already talked about being too tired. Continue reading
