Motivation...
For me, sometimes the best motivation is turning away from the task and clearing my mind of everything except what I see.  I do this when I go outside.  When I'm truly in need of motivation, I'll sit and meditate.  Quiet and still, eyes closed.  Instead of fighting the thoughts that appear, I let them run in the direction they flow.  Sometimes it's the thoughts that have nothing to do with what I'm searching for that give me the best ideas.

If you write for money there is no better motivation than thinking about what your activity will do to your bank account. Then you have money to be able to write for fun. Thanks for stopping by.

lionreign, Yes, that is good advice. It just doesn't seem to work all of the time. Have a great day!

On those days when my motivation wavers
I try to remember the reasons I chose to write and the benefits I get from doing it

Taps, I have the same problem sometimes. It is so easy to get caught up in something else. You should actually join, because you definitely have a way with words! OI

Hi!  Welcome back.  You know, I read your return posts yesterday and ended up over in Constant Content and forgot to come back to say "Hi!"  That's what happens to me whenever some blogger posts links.  LOL

A cosy corner, soft music and the sun sets the ambience for a motivational write I think. Thanks so much for your visit and welcome.
