What motivates you?

Some days I don’t feel like writing at all. Do you feel the same? And there are times I can write for 3 hours non-stop! Go figure… I’ve been thinking about creating a writing routine, but so far, I can only manage to work on my book on weekends. I’m aware that is not enough and I desperately need to improve this if I want to finish this project. However, I believe that being motivated plays an essential part if you, like me, have this dream of seeing your piece of art displayed in some well-known bookshop all over the globe. What works for me most of the time is going through my boards of inspirational pictures on Pinterest. I love to collect interesting and weird stuff so when I’m stuck in a certain part of the story I just have a look at those pictures and, that’s enough to trigger my imagination again. My motivation also comes from reading books. I get lost in a good story. Have you ever felt motivated to write while enjoying an amazingly well-written book?   I’d love to know what motivates you to keep writing.
