get me to write

What does it take to get me to write?
  •  For me, the first answer to this question that came to my head was not actually an answer to this question, the answer to another question "how does it feel to start writing – especially after not writing?" ...  in fact, I started the morning saying, " I don't want to get up," In spite of the fact that I set up the morning to be the start of regular writing sessions. It was just a sense of dread at the many piles of  writing projects that I have in my head to do, they haven't even begun to start.  Being overwhelmed and accompanied by a sense of dread and not ever getting those projects done.
  • I sort of seemed deadline focused, so
  • external forces
  • on top of that I, have to fight to create and manage a workspace . . . seems that Korea doesn't have as much space as one might get in other countries . . .  or at least that I am not paid enough to purchase that space at the local prices ;)
  • and then I have my own list of starting rituals that I have to run through. always the coffee has to be made ... yesterday the dishes needed to be washes and something else--although it would be fair to say that in part I have to do something just to get awake enough to start working.  today I tried to prepare by washing the dishes the night before, but they needed to have themselves put away before I could start and the vacuuming robot demanded that I set it up to sweep the floors and that in turn needed the drying laundry to be re-situated and the that caused the fern to be tipped over and that needed sweeping and cleaning and replanting before I could sit down. 
  • beyond that the distractions themselves can lie in the very device that I need to use to do the writing that I wish to do.  game this, social media that (am I avoiding naming facebook?)
