Hi this is just a general query but I would like to know where you get the motivation to write and keep it going through out your writing only I have the ideas, I just lack the spirit that all any suggestions would be welcome.

Now I set a particular project for the time I have, as sometimes other stuff has priority (general life stuff) so I go for something realistic.
Seriously though, I think the thing that has kept me going with my novel is the story and being in love with my characters. I suppose part of my determination comes from my personality. My parents struggled financially when I was little, and I remember standing in a queue to cash my Mam's benefits when I was about 12 and swore that I would do whatever it takes not to fall into that cycle. That's how I can manage a full time degree, part-time job and writing career all at once! I know there is a really big pay off on the horizon.
Saying that I'm on the umpteenth draft of my novel, and for the first time I've hit that hurdle at the 10,000 words.

written the day before, then try to add anything from 100 - 1000 words.
I can only find procrastinate, procrastinating, and procrastination.
This is my procrastination for today !! (so don't give me an answer too quickly, people ) :)
From the Latin 'pro' meaning 'onward' and 'crastinus' meaning 'of tomorrow'.
Yes, I've joined the 'Procrastinator's Club' too! :-)
Now I have to procrastinate with something else...............
(magic15, you must ignore all that - writing is the most exciting thing you can do and you should be leaping into your desk chair to spend as many hours as you can at the computer.;) )
He brought a bill ( and no coffee) - boo!
Not sure it would work with me.
I think it would just make me feel depressed and negative about my chances of completing.

What's your problem?
