What made you interesting in writing, i love writing, but sometimes i don't feel motivated, how do you get motivated?
To sometimes lack motivation is 100% normal. Not just for beginners and hobbyists, but for your favorite published authors too.
I became interested in writing as soon as I learnt to write. I didnāt become obsessed with it until I found other writers online and saw what they were up to. I literally didnāt know fanfiction was a thing and that Iād been writing it for years. That alone motivated me to write more.
When youāre not motivated to work on your story or come up with new ideas, there are many easy things you can try, like:
practice describing people, places, and things you see during your day
collect images that inspire you to write; face claims, fantasy settings, etc.
create playlists of songs that motivate you to write or remind you of your characters
record dialogue and gestures of people you see/hear and interact with
find prompts or interesting images and write quick stories based on them
READ some books, especially ones outside your preferred genre
exercise, sleep well, eat well, and your brain will work better
take an idea you hate or a story that bugs you and rewrite/fix it
write a letter to someone you see as a role model, but donāt name them
describe life on earth to an alien, starting with something simple like a toothbrush
study a different era in history, maybe an era in another countryās history
describe life in your country/era to a foreigner/time traveler
ā¦and dozens of other options. Hope some of these tips work for you!
