Where's me mojo?

Yes, I've said it before...I need to get my mojo back. I'm not just talking about my flirting abilities or sex appeal or whatever. I've also lost my writing mojo, which is no good. *sniffle*

Merriam-Webster defines mojo as "a magic spell, hex, or charm." That's not quite the definition I'm talking about. Let's go to the dictionary of all dictionaries, shall we? Ah, yes: urbandictionary.com. Mojo definitions abound here. I'll pick a few of the best...
- The word originally means a charm or a spell. But now its more commonly said meaning sex appeal or talent.
- ability to bounce back from a debilitating trauma and negative attitude
- your sex appeal, the magic you posses over the opposite sex, the way you present yourself

And apparently there is another definition that I was not aware of: (noun) A toilet paper tube stuffed with sheets of fabric softener, used to cover the smell of marijuana smoke. The inhaled marijuana smoke is exhaled through the mojo.

Yeah, that wasn't the "mojo" I was referring to. Even though I go to KU, I don't need that kind of mojo. It's quite clever, though. Those kids in the UCLA dorms needed to make themselves a mojo. Maybe they wouldn't have been sent home then.

Anyhow, I do have a plan to get my writing mojo back. I have plans to write daily over my winter break (which begins December 17...yay!). The first thing I'm going to do is write a short story. I already know what the plot is - I have it all planned out in my head, just need to get it on the screen. Once I'm done with that, I'll see if I've got my mojo back enough to attempt to tackle my novel again. I hope it works.
