I bought a pint of Dreyer's dreamery in hopes of bribing myself to write my Earth Day story. What do you do to motivate?

Masturbate.

No, seriously.

Masturbate ... and if that doesn't work, masturbate again. :D
 
I have found that procrastinaiton followed by guilt is my most effective motivator. Since I tend to put everything off until the last moment, I am constantly in a flurry to get things completed on time. Matter of fact I must leave now to finish editing a friend's story that I have been avoiding for almost a week now.

*sigh*

And I don't really want to.

This is me, too. Looking for the kick in the ass right now since the mood is gone.

I've been trying to get motivated for two days now. So far, it's not working very well.

That doesn't motivate me. It only makes me sleepy. After that, if I can't sleep, I turn to ice cream. :p

Wait until you laptop comes back. Then the ideas will be flying and you won't be able to write them quickly enough.

Wish I could... but I'm far enough behind already. survivor contest
 
I usually just write when I'm most up for it. If I pressure myself into doing it, I can never seem to get started.
 
I don't really think of it as motivation but I start to write when an idea comes to me. Once I have the idea, the stiory seems to sort of write itself. Sometimes it takes a while to come up with an idea,
 
Music. Great lyrics motivate me. Download new stuff (different styles), make a CD, put it in your Walkman, put on your headphones, and then watch the movies in your head.

Works for me. ;)

Luck to all,

A more serious reply Dar.

For the contests, going to the support thread really inspires me to continue. And when I feel like I can't do it, I just say so honestly and lots of people cheer me on! Check out the thread, make a post there and then get started.

When I was pounding out my long Valentine's story, I would write 200 to 500 words and then to shake it off a little. I'd pop in here to the support thread, see what everyone was saying and then go back to my story. I think it's my best story yet and my longest, so it must have helped.

Good luck!
 
If I'm not watching or reading other porn to motivate myself, I watch tv. Seriously, something always sparks an idea. Usually I watch The History Channel or National Geographic Channel. I also bribe myself with different teas and sometimes snacks if I'm having a really hard time.
 
Ummm... lacking motivation...

doubting skills doesn't help... make a note, LOL
