I just wonder if other authors do this, and I find myself doing it often from time to time. When I get to procrastinating or lose my drive to write during the night, I go back and read comments from old stories. Also, since I got into the habit of leaving author notes at the end of my postings, sometimes I go back and read those too.

I always wonder about what was going on in my life when I posted. Sometimes it is plainly obvious (like when my aunt died) and other times I can't remember for the life of me what was happening when I posted the story. I just read through the comment section of The Test Taker. It seemed like so long ago, but it was just in October.

I haven't posted anything since, but it's not like I haven't been busy writing. I am working on my new novel and it is taking forever. I do plan on something for Christmas and am going to put the novel to the side on Monday. I really don't like the idea of doing that, but the last Christmas story I wrote got lost because I wrote it after the 25th and was going to wait til this year. I might try my hand at writing two stories during the same time, but that never seems to work and I always get confused. We will see.

Hope people are motivated too.
