This hasn’t happened in a while. It’s currently 8:30pm on Tuesday and I am just now sitting down to write this post. There isn’t a good reason why I didn’t write this weekend like normal. I suppose if I had to pin down a reason it would be a lack of creative inspiration. I’ve been cooped up in the house because of a foot injury and haven’t had my usual time in the city, doing activities to get the creative juices flowing.
So, I decided to turn to the ultimate place of inspiration: Pinterest. After browsing some pretty images and looking at pins with post ideas, I began to wonder how I stay motivated to keep writing week after week. Sometimes I have a ton to write about and other times I’m forcing myself through the motions. But I’ve yet to miss a posting day and somehow keep myself chugging out content.
Usual forms of motivation are monetary (nope, not selling anything here) or social/recognition (not a lot of reader comments and interaction goes on), yet somehow, here we are with a post scheduled for 5am, just like every week. This is what I’ve realized about motivation and how we can keep ourselves working at something for the long haul.
