I'm not blocked. I'm just not motivated...

Was out of the country for a two week working vacation (taking care of a boat) for the last half of June. Been home two weeks today and haven't accomplished a single thing, really. What the hell is wrong with me?

- I'm excited about my novel again, right up until the moment I open the document and put my hands to the keyboard.

- The deadline for the paper I run is this Friday and I haven't written anything. Started my column, but haven't even outlined my feature article or the two short news pieces I need to write.

- Haven't cleaned house since we've been home.

- HAVE spent a hideous amount of time setting up a blog, playing on She Writes, checking email (and ignoring anything that requires action), talking on the phone to friends and looking at wedding planning sites (getting married in November) and generally goofing off.

This is totally unlike me. I'm usualy driven, work 70 hours a week, Mike usually has to drag me away from my desk at the end of the day. Now I'm just pathetic and can't seem to force myself to do anything.

I'm not depressed - I have an amazing life! I just can't seem to get motivated.Right now, I should be billing for last months ads, doing laundry, and planning my week. What am I doing instead? Alternating between this website, solitaire and checking facebook to see what my friends are up to.

Help! How can I get motivated???
