OT: Help with motivation

[Ro Nagey]

Gene Wolfe, the noted sf author, once told me something along the lines 
of:

"If you can get started, turn off the TV. Turn off the radio. Don't 
read the mail. Don't open a book. You can go for a walk. Sooner or 
later, you will start writing"

This has worked well for me - of course, I've updated it to include 
"Don't turn on the computer"
