Writing Blocked

I’m blaming the heat, but I have lost all motivation for writing.

I’ve mentioned in the past that I’m writing a novel, and I’m at the stage of saying the rough draft is complete. So what I need to do know is read through a chapter, make some notes, and then rewrite.

I’ve been at this stage for a few weeks now. It’s probably notable that I’m taking more time to craft my longer posts here, and have even toyed with writing a memoir (part companion to the novel, part procrastination).

So I’m clearing out an hour for myself tomorrow, I’ve cleared down some tasks in advance, so I SHOULD have nothing to stop me.

I’m not worried by this, I’ve been through similar. I know the mojo will return, but I’m keen to see if I can nudge it along a little faster.
