Motivation

I found this quote today while talking to severity_softly and I want to remember it.

"The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation. Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what? After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it."

Dancing with glee!

I just got my copy of The King Commands in the mail! I am bouncing up and down with glee and so utterly thrilled to finally see it in print! Hurray for megburden! My parents are both already fighting over who gets to read it next. :D

If the fantasy fans on my flist aren't familiar with megburden's work, you should be. She has an incredibly compelling set of characters, and the sense of place in her novels is fantastic. Northlander introduces Ellin and The King Commands continues her story.

Those of you who are Stargate fans should acquaint yourself with her writing too, because she is one of the collaborators in a six-book set of official tie-in novels that are going to be released starting later this year. I'm sure those of you interested in keeping the gate open will want to read her other work as well.

I've been privileged to call megburden a friend for...well, almost as long as I've been on LJ, I think. She's a wonderful and inspiring human being, and I'm lucky to know her. But that's not why I'm saying nice things about her book. I'm saying nice things about her book because she is also an extremely talented writer. I love her characters, I love the little glimpses I've gotten behind the scenes, and I love the setting of her novels.

Okay, now leave me alone, because I have to go read! :D
