Motivation? What is that?
Hello again all, we’re delving into the cursed subject of motivation, because I have poor self-discipline, this is the only practice that results in finished books, and it has a mind of it’s own.
As an indie-author, I've found that motivation is an elusive, often fleeting companion. Writing a novel isn't a sprint. It's a marathon - a long, arduous journey that cannot be rushed. Unlike traditional

“Do not trust their words.
Challenge them to a staring contest, at the sun.
That is the true measure of a man.
The willingness to ruin oneself to prove.”

“Loneliness is a storm.
Not something relaxing, the pitter patter and distant rumble.
But the annoying pre-storm, wherein lives are boring, and not satisfying.
Hello?
Oh, the car crashed.
It’s sad, that’s so abrasive.
There are no voices in my head anymore,
But I’d welcome the company, you know.
Good thing I have nothing to hide,
So I’ll wait for you, and them.

“don’t suck your thumb, i’m near.
lean forward, suck in the gut.
scraped knees don’t hurt,
i can see through any walls.
no, this is the purveyance always.
transcends sight and follows you.
you’re a man, or not, now.
but i can still see through walls.
so, don’t suck your thumb, boy.
