I think I broke my brain

OK. Turned in a book in October, the sequel is due in March-at-the-latest and I Cannot Focus. On anything. Reading, writing, 'rithmetic -- I can't keep my attention on any of it. Part of this probably has to do with the thyroid slowdown, to which tweakage has been applied, but relief on that front is four-to-six weeks out. I can kind of space most of the non-writing stuff on my plate at the moment; the day-job isn't being particularly disruptive, but -- that deadline ain't gettin' any further away and I have got to get with the program.

I've tried AiC and Just Doing It (which is how the October book got written) -- but my will-to-write seems to have dried up and blown away.

So -- what do you do to get motivated, and stay focused?

When I was stuck on TFS, the novel_in_90 community was very helpful.

I remember (now) that you had said so. Thank you for reminding me.

Options for changing writing venue are...somewhat limited hereabouts. Staking out a corner of the couch has been beneficial in the past; this time, not so much.

...hate to think I'm running outta tricks -- or that my subconscious has gotten smarter. Now, there's a scary thought...
