Unfortunately, I'm not providing motivation today. I'm looking for some myself. With my novel done, I really need to edit. I let it sit for a few days while I worked on finishing up my 50k for Camp (oh, did I mention I won? Still so excited), but now I need to get back in and start editing. I already know that's going to entail some more writing, because I kind of forgot half my characters from the beginning, then realized it and stuck them in again at the end, so there's a big chunk in the middle where they really are in desperate need of character development to get them to the point where they can act the way I made them act at the end and have it make sense after the way they acted in the beginning.
(I'm not entirely sure that last sentence made sense itself. I mean behavior at first is inconsistent with behavior at end, and I need to add character development in the middle so that it flows. There we go.)
Problem is I tend to be rather social when I write. When actually writing (by that I mean putting the words down), I do word wars and sprints and Write or Die by Dr. Wicked to get the words down. But I haven't had very much experience editing, so even though I know exactly what I need to do, I just can't seem to make myself actually DO it.
So, what do you do when you don't want to do something? Any tips are appreciated. :)
