Where We Collide is not edited. It is sitting as a rough draft quietly awaiting the day when I'll come back to edit it. For some reason, it always motivates me once a book has a cover. Doesn't really make sense, considering this is a mock cover. This cover might never exist outside of my computer. Even so, seeing a mock cover makes me want it.
Even though today was full of procrastination, I just rushed through four chapters worth of outlining for my current NaNo project, Good Criminal Heart. I even have enough motivation to work on "My Summer Vacation by Terrance Wade" tonight. Why? I think the finished novel starts to feel tangible. That makes me feel like it is closer to being finished, even if it's not.
Other than "wanting to finish" your piece, what motivates you? Have you tried making mock covers for your pieces?
How is your NaNo going? Are you procrastinating? Are you getting stuff done? Are you doing a bit of both?
Cheers to motivation, I hope everyone finds some today! Especially you WriMos out there, we only have half a month left!
