Writing Boot Camp

Saturday there's a writing boot camp on campus for people wanting to sign up to write from 9 AM till 4 PM. Hell, yeah. Lately I haven't been inspired or motivated to write much. Why is this, you ask? Well, sometimes I get in these insanely lazy moods that are rooted in some deep seeded emotion. Sometimes they occur because I've been working too hard but other times they happen because I can be a lazy mo fo. This writing boot camp was designed for the purpose of bringing writers together and putting their ass in the chair. This way when you want to check facebook, or turn on the tv, or something else super distracting and time wasting, you don't! So I'm bring my ipod and my lap top and setting up shop for the day. Whatever will I write about? My book! What a perfect opportunity to sit my ass in a chair and have to keep working. I'm so excited for the motivation.

It's also inspired me in other ways! Like, fall quarter during school I saw a fiction writing workshop that I am unable to sign for, so instead, I'm pretending I signed up for it and keeping that chunk of time for writing. I'll grade myself on my own attendance and work ethic. How cool is that? The whole point of this is that I'm happier when I'm working and my passion is for writing. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways and this week it seems that God wants my ass in a chair.
