Where Did All My Motivation Go?

Wait a minute, what happened to all of that energy and enthusiasm and motivation that I found at the SDSU Writers' Conference over the weekend?

While I was at the conference, I couldn't wait to get back to my computer to address the changes that agents recommended for my two manuscripts. Now that I have some time to write, I don't want to. Huh?

I'm going to blame it on the conference. I didn't really get a weekend, so now I'm too tired to sit in front of my computer without closing my eyes.

And I'm going to blame it on my book club, because I have to finish reading "Before I Fall" by Lauren Oliver so that I can read "Once Upon a River" by Bonnie Jo Campbell before the book club meeting on Feb. 12 and in time to read "The Scorpio Races" by Maggie Stiefvater before it's due back at the library.

And I'm going to blame work, because it's been pretty busy the last two days.

And, who else can I blame ... there's got to be somebody or something responsible for this lack of desire to work on my books. It can't be me ...
