Slowly getting there

Well, slowly is the word. Still got motivational problems, but I have got some work onto the pc this is mostly done at work in the mornigs when it is quiet and then I email it from my work email to my personal email - sounds complicated not really - at least things are slowly getting done, but because it's stuff that I've already written so I don't feel like I've achieved anything but I guess that will change as I proceed on to new idea.

On the photography front I have actually taken the camera out in the last week but the results were frankly dire - which has put me off taking anymore for a while - if petrol wasn't so expensive I would drive somewhere different to try and inspire me but I'm out of cash til payday so no chance of going anywhere interesting soon. If the weather stays nice maybe I'll try and get out tomorrow.

I am still reading a lot currently am working my way through Victor Hugo's Les Miserables - which I know is a hefty book to get through, but I have wanted to read it for a while so the other day I took the plunge and at the moment am quite enjoying it. I am also watching lots of films, some I have seen before but many I haven't - some classic some modern many reccomended by my friend Matthew - who appears to have seen pratically every film ever made except Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Ghostbusters - how he as missed these two 80's classics is beyond me - tried to get him to watch Ghostbusters the other day and he fell asleep!!!

Anyway that's all for now - not feeling the best today

Oh well TFI Friday!!!!

I just have no motivation

It's true at the moment I just can't be bothered do to anything much - except go to work and if I could get out of that I would - however I have to pay the bills - so I'm stuck with it.
I haven't taken any photos for a while - other than on nights out, which is unlike me Ok the weather hasn't been too good, but this week has been lovely and you know what - just not interested.

I've also been writing a story for as long as I remember, I know the plot backwards and can visuaise it as a movie but as for putting it into words - it just ain't happening. I guess I'm never gonna write a best selling novel. And the worse part is I have loads of ideas for books, screenplays etc but don't have the talent for writing them down. I will keep trying but whether or not it will ever be finished I don't know. Saying that I have completed one novel, but on re-reading it, it does need a radical overhaul, but again just can't be bothered, and even though I start working on things I get distracted by Facebook, other blogs, Youtube and various other sites that I must look at immediately, because whatever it is will not be there later - which is silly because of course it will - but hey that's me anything so I don't have to do any work of any type.

What I need to do is get myself organised and set aside an hour each night to get all the work in progress on the new computer so I can start some real work - to be fair to myself I have typed a few of my poems but there is still a lot of work to be done.

Can I get the motivation??

I will let you know
