I need a kick in the pants

[megwrites]

I'm falling a bit behind on my goals. So here is me, kicking *myself* in the pants. I really want to finish this novel, if for no other reason than so I can go on to other projects. Right now I have this fantastic idea in my head that seems so shiny and new and writeable and it beacons me with it's sexiness and newness.

And I remind myself that *this* idea seemed just as shiny when I started, and that no matter what, all ideas eventually lose their novelty. You have to keep plugging because it's not just about novelty, it's about something better.

At the very least, it's about finishing to prove that you can finish at all.

I think the cat says it better, though.
