The writer's conjuring spell
Let's talk motivation. I need some new ideas for getting myself up and creating every day and I want to know what works for you. I tend to use routine and sheer force of will for those times when I'm not compelled by some awesome idea I just need to write RIGHT NOW, and while that's ok most of the time, I would mind some new sources of spark.
So, what motivates you? Is it certain music? Do you make playlists for stories or projects you're working on? Are you driven by word counts? Do you give yourself prompts? Do you send stuff to a writing buddy? Tell me about your process when you're having to work to finish something, shoulder to the wheel. When you've done all the easy stuff first and all that's standing in the way of DONE is the hard stuff. What gets you moving?
