All Writers Lose Their Mojo
At one time or another, all writers lose their mojo.
(Did you just picture AUSTIN POWERS when you read the word “mojo?”)
The important thing is that you don’t let a shy muse, momentary lack of motivation, or missing spark of inspiration hold you down too long.
The good news is, when it comes to finding the solution to get your fingers tickety-tapping away again, there’s more than one way to skin a cat*.
Here are a couple that have helped me immensely:
#1 — Steven Pressfield’s The War Of Art is a book I highly recommend checking out for a good kick in the ass.
#2 — Read the following passage:
“His pointer finger circled my puckered love cave. ‘Are you ready for this?’ he mewled, smirking at me like a mother hamster about to eat her three-legged young.”
Show of hands, who thinks they can best this writing?
(Since I can’t see you, I’m just going to go ahead and assume you’re reaching for the stars right now).
When it comes to the level of quality for your writing, the good news is that you can feel free to use this as your new bar.
Why?
Because this 2-sentence abomination is from a series of novels that topped best-seller lists around the world (selling over 125 million copies worldwide), was translated into 52 languages, was the fastest-selling paperback of all time in the UK, and went on to be adapted for the silver screen where the 3-film trilogy grossed over $1.3 Billion at the box office.
What’s the name of this series?
X gets the square if you guessed 50 SHADES OF GREY.
Also, if you did in fact guess correctly, congratulations, you’re a pervert!
Kidding, this is a judgement free zone … except for myself … I judge the shit out of that asshole.
So… ready to get your apple bottom back to work?
