Motivation

My motivations are so faulty.
"To get my story across. To get my viewpoint to the world"
"To be famous"
"To earn money for college"

I've written halves of three amazing, promising stories, yet I just can't finish them. I know, Writer's Block is just LAZINESS. I am lazy, or should I say, a big procrastinator. Give me a deadline, and I'll finish. Give me all the time in the world and it'll take forever.


Easy for you to say.
Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong direction...

what's your motivation?

My motivation is the characters yelling in my head. That's about it to be honest.

I'm a huge procrastinator... that's why NaNo was so helpful!

I've started giving myself deadlines and I've managed to convince myself that professionals can't ignore deadlines, even self-generated ones. I've also managed to convince myself that the first step to being a professional writer is to act like one.

Well said. Same here.
