Re: Writing Motivation

[andrewducker]

I think you might be taking it a bit more seriously than it was intended...

I agree though - writing is something you do because you love it, or because you have to do it for work. If you don't enjoy it then don't do it unless you have to!

And I think the kittens are designed for people who have to do it. If you need to write an X sized essay for work, or for university or for school, then the kittens can help.

And I note that Warren Ellis has been using, whilst not a kitten, a ticker for counting up his progress towards projected completion on his current novel. Of course, he's reached 100% (80,000 words) and not yet reached the end of the book, so he's carrying on.
