Zero motivation, but way too much to do

[vg_ford]

Today is one of those days that, in my opinion anyways, separates those who write from those who want to write. I really just want to play WoW all day. Really.

But I’m a writer with deadlines. I want to get the podcast going as scheduled, so I need to record at least one chapter today. Rites is due to my editor no later than August 1, so I need to write.

So I make a deal with myself: record 1 chapter, then write until 5:30 pm. After that, we get to play WoW the rest of the night if we want to.

And that’s how a writer, as opposed to someone who wants to write, does it.
