(I'll save you a seat.)<br /><br />But! I just remembered this great idea that Margaret Yang told me about to get writers motivated. First you write a check in a large enough amount that you'll notice it missing to an organization you can't stand - like maybe The Westboro Baptist Church. Then you put the check in an envelope, address it, put a stamp on it and give it to a trusted friend with the instructions that your friend mail the donation if you don't turn in the manuscript to her/him by the the agreed upon deadline. <br /><br />The idea is that you get the book done to prevent a donation you'll regret for the rest of your life. It's radical, but I've heard it works. I know Margaret has done it before. And she got her book done and her check back from her friend and ripped it up. :)<br /><br />I volunteer as check holder.Bronwyn Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932056019850822590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385283036588247451.post-44948186756798547332014-07-30T09:31:19.396-04:002014-07-30T09:31:19.396-04:00Procrastination!!

So bad, but I agree with you that once you work all day it gets really hard to come home and work more. I don't even have any fab suggestions for you. See now that makes me lame.
