Good Morning Lovelies,
What do you do to stay motivated to write? Are there tricks you use? Do you constantly sip coffee to inspire yourself? Or maybe there is a special book that always strikes inspiration in you. Share with us how you stay motivated and how you keep yourself enjoying writing.
For me, what I find works best is I find an idea that I absolutely love and I obsess over it. I get so obsessed with the idea that I NEED to write, I can’t hold the words back, it’s like flood gates open and all I can do is grab a paddle and a boat and hold on for dear life.
Writing, especially for me with daily life always getting in the way, can be very difficult and there are times when I want so badly to write, but I can’t get any words out no matter how long I sit staring at a blank page. But I try to stay positive and enjoy writing because if I’m not enjoying it then I won’t do it well and more often then not, I will end up blocking myself. I call it a self-induced writer’s block, where you stand in your own way, in the middle of your writing road waving your hands for help like your car is on fire.
I try to write no matter what, but if nothing will come I tuck it away with the encouraging reminder that the words will come when they are ready. Not all the words can be written in a single day or on consecutive days. Sometimes they need time and sometimes you need time too.
