Unmotivated....

Saving me from my writer's block and lack of motivation right now is the "Write X Words If..." thread on the NaNoWriMo forum, in combination with Dr. Wicked's Write or Die. I read a post from the thread, count how many words I need to write from that post alone, fill out that amount of words in Write or Die, and choose the time I'd like it all to be written in, mostly 30 minutes. And then I write. Good or bad, at least it's written and I can move on to the next post.

At the moment I'm writing 250 words because I'm between the age of twenty and forty, and 300 words because I'm hanging our on the forums instead of actually writing. Touché, that last one...

Write or Die is kinda scary, actually. You can choose how wicked it's supposed to be, all the way down to kamikaze mode (where it starts eating your words if you take too long a break from pushing keyboard buttons - EVIL!), and I've chosen the mildest form. It just turns the edges of the screen a darker shade of red until you start writing again. It's effective enough, though.

Okay, back to writing.
