Finding Some Fucking Motivation

And if you already found it - here’s what to fucking do with it!

If you’re a writer then you’ll know that motivation is a fickle motherfucking beast that will immediately abandon you if you even fucking think about taking it for granted. 

With that in mind here are some great fucking ways to boost the fuck out of your motivation!

Make a kick-ass playlist; gather the shit out of the music that makes your heart pound and slam it into a fucking playlist and hammer that shit until you finish your draft.

Do some fucking exercise; right, arseholes. Get out there, in that world, and sweat your buns off and you’ll find that endorphins get off THEIR arses and do something useful and you suddenly want to do more shit.

Do a shitty (writing) exercise; find a prompt you like and run with it to the fucking end. Either it’ll be shite or you’ll love it. Either way you wrote something and that’s a fucking win!

Take a fucking break; you deserve it, bitch! Rest makes us productive, don’t let the capitalist bullshit mentality of work till you die grind you down. 

Find your fucking passion; if you don’t love your fucking story anymore, have a goddamn word with yourself and find out why. Life’s too fucking short to write shit you hate!

IT WILL ALWAYS BE BAD

Then it will be good

Writing

Am I the only one that finds writing to be a little underrated? In my opinion, it just seems that it's not getting the love it deserves. Sure, it's not a job that makes a ton of money, but why does that matter when it has the one thing that makes it amazing?

Writing makes people feel something

We all have that one book that has made us feel some type of emotion. Whether it be happy, sad, angry, frustrated, confused, motivated or any other emotion out there. Isn't that why we read books? Isn't that why we write books, articles, blogs? To make people feel a type of way? Granted, I can't speak for everyone, but that is the reason why writing is my passion (hense the name jayethewriter). Being the reason why someone smiles or cry is an amazing feeling, and I hope I can make you guys feel something with my poorly written posts.

Music

Has music ever spoken to you before? Because music speaks to me all the time. You know that quote that says:

When words fail music speaks

It's amazing how true that quote is. It's amazing that even though there are thousands upon thousands of words that exist, a lot of them don't convey how we feel. How is it that a bunch of soundwaves can speak to us and words that are used to communicate can not? Heck if I know. All I know is that it's truly a beautiful thing. Music is a really beautiful thing.
