I have been working a lot on editing my novel and sometimes there is just nothing left.
I want to write for fun, but sometime editing is no fun.. It is, but for those time when it isn't, I turn to other relaxation things like watching Psych or other time wasting hobbies. Sometimes I pick up another book, but every time I do that I remember that somewhere an author didn't stop editing her book, didn't get lost in the problem, but pushed through. And then I avoid the book too.
I recently watched a really cool video on motivation and the point was made that inspiration is internal. That we do what we want to do. I agree that we needed to remember why we are doing things, but also sometimes I need a good kick start.
For me it was having others read my story and give honest feedback; it helped give life to something that had felt stale. Maybe it is taking a break and or writing out a plan, whatever works for you.
