Just a simple thought I had earlier…posted on Facebook, but I thought I’d repost here since it’s so important for us authors to stay motivated. Slumps are so easy to fall into and so hard to crawl out of. Some of the most brilliant writers I know go through years and years of silence just because…what? Their day jobs get in the way? Too tired at the end of the day to crank out even 500 words? Or maybe it’s something with even less of an excuse, like fucking Skyrim or Game of Thrones. Not saying you can’t enjoy those things–I certainly do–but if you truly, deep-down love writing…you won’t let these things get in the way. Seriously. What a shame.

Don’t let it happen to you.
