Day 21: Inspiration vs motivation (why can't they work together?)

I have a lot of inspiration right now but a complete lack of motivation, which is kind of weird. Why can't I have both at the same time?

To start with, writing my novel was quite easy (at around day 5 or 6 when I wrote nearly 5k in a day?) but suddenly, I haven't wanted to write quite so much, and I really can't explain why. Perhaps I'm just not as into this novel as I thought I was. I like my novel idea, but maybe my writing is letting me down and that's why I'm not enjoying it? I'm really not sure.

I'm going to work today, so will do some writing if it's quiet, and perhaps get quite a bit done (there's always hope?) because if not, I'll have to write when I get home and I'll be tired and just want to play the sims xD I need to make novel writing fun - cause most of the time, I really really enjoy it. Maybe it's the January blues... again. Can you get the blues 21 days in? xD

On a slightly better note - I have started to get an idea for my NaNo for this year, even if it is a ridiculous amount of time away, but hey - perhaps I'll plan it well :D I finished my planning for '10s NaNo during the month as I didn't decide to take part until November xD Oops.

Heather is zooming off ahead still - which is probably a good thing, as her target is way higher than mine xD
