@RitzCrackerReader Well, my answer is going to be a bit toxic? So basically, fear of failure and being left behind motivates me! As in when I start something, I make positive vivid imagery in my mind about how the results will be - not having that soon enough keeps me going! Also, I am very insecure, so I easily tune into comparison mode, usually thinking "Everybody out there has their sh!t figured out, and is participating in contests and building followers! I need to finish my first draft asap". It also helps that I have multiple novels/storyline ideas...so the excitement of starting a new novel gets me through writing the current one (I finish what I start - that is the rule). Also, I love my protagonists (as in most times I add a trait of a loved one of mine in my characters, or even when I don't, it just comes to me naturally), so I feel like, "My baby is waiting for me...I can't leave her hanging there alone." Also, another advice I have gotten is "Make it exist first, you can make it good later." - although that doesn't work for me, but maybe it would for you?

I don’t really know! I just write it! It’s like sometimes I even think of the story I want to write in my sleep, and make a plan, so when I got time I can write it down and publish it!
