Writing Mojo

Common misconception about author's: they always know the PERFECT word for every occasion/sentence. Ok, let me rephrase: Common misconception about pre-published authors: they always know the PERFECT word for every occasion/sentence. (If you don't believe me, ask my co-worker's - my mad, grammatically incorrect e-mailing skills drive them BATTY!)

So when trying to put my feelings into words I couldn't quite come up with the RIGHT word for my lack of.....motivation to write.  (What you say? She who has a blog intent on motivating other author's isn't motivated herself????  Um, I'm pretty sure Erica set that low expectation a LONG time ago....keep up) So anyway, for whatever reason I was thinking of Transformer's (not as random as you think, I have three young boys) and I always thought it was funny that Sam's dog was named Mojo.

So what do you do when you are procrastinating????  Yah, you Google random things.  Like Mojo. Before I Google I always try to come up with my own "definition".

To me mojo is a swagger or way of doing something you love with confidence and determination. But who am I???

Alright, without further ado, I feel absolutely compelled to share the Urban Dictionary Online's definition of mojo.  Why?  Because where else can you compare "sex appeal" and talent and get away with it?

1.	Mojo	2109 up, 1086 down
	The word originally means a charm or a spell. But now its more commonly said meaning sex appeal or talent. "God help me, I think I've lost my mojo!"

So....before you go off wondering what happened to our little blog that sometimes-occasionally-every-once-in-awhile thinks it can, just know that every now and then, even writer's can't find the right words.
In other words: I think I've lost my writing sex appeal :)
Yes, I just said that.
