I'm having trouble with focus and motivation, I also have a whole bunch of ideas. I know I can write and I like to write, I just need to focus on one thing at a time.
But I rarely get to focus, I'm very prone to procrastination, indecision, and I have to manage schoolwork with the writing. I'm serious about writing, at least more serious than the average person, but it recently struck me that my problem might be a lack of outside feedback and motivation. Unlike with school, there's no outside reason to write.
So what do I need - a group to join, a writing buddy, a writing mentor? Or should I get a beta buddy, even though I know first drafts aren't supposed to be betaed. But that's what everyone else here seems to be doing. I'm just looking for motivation, and someone else who also needs it. I don't know if a group would be right, because there's a lot going on there and I'm prone to getting distracted and procrastination as it is I'm not sure if a mentor would be better for this or a buddy, or how to go about getting either one.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd love to hear about the experiences of other motivationally challenged ppl
