What gets people motivated? · 2:41am Jan 25th, 2014
I've all but lost mine at the moment and I need something to pull me out of a rut. Some kind of project... something.
It's been so long since I've actually felt motivated about doing something with passion that I think I've forgotten how it feels. What gets you guys going? What creates the spark... I'd love to know.
I have a lot of energy to give, just no idea where to give it.
Sex.
Clop.
Filthy clop.
Capitvating clop.
Immoral clop.
Clop with little to no story.
Clop with OOC characters.
Clop with foals.
Clop with tentacles.
Clop with incest.
...clop.
Not that I want it, I'm just saying that's what a lot of people read.It's sad, I know
Other people's stories. Hard Reset 2 for me in this specific case.
Reading is how I got into writing in the first place, and whenever the creative well runs dry I can always refill it with a few good books. Try it.
The tears of broken Fimfiction users.
Also, a continuation of 'Nightmare Mooning' would be bucking fantastic

So, this is what everyone means when they say I can never have a serious moment.

I wish I was solely taking about writing here
Music.
Also, punch random people while walking down the street.
actually you shouldn't do that. remember this, kids. Also, don't talk to strangers. And refuse candy and free white van rides.
Music. Lots and lots of music. My normal circuit involves Breaking Benjamin's 'I will not bow' and 'Diary of Jane', Three Days Grace's 'Animal I have become' and 'Get out alive', Papa Roach's 'Last resort', and some other less heavy ones like Ke$ha's 'Woohoo' and Ashley Tisdale's 'How do you love someone'.
For when I'm either really ticked or down in the dumps, Avenged Sevenfold's 'Hail to the king' and 'Buried alive', Five Finger Death Punch's entire album collection() and on occaision some Stone Sour.
What do you listen to, if I may ask?

Thanks guys, I'll find some music to enjoy then. It's a temporary fix, but I wonder if it'll help me with permanent out-of-rutness.
1755140 I dunno but I hope it helps

It helps, so don't hope anymore :3

Try helping other writers as an editor or proofreader. It could give you ideas and new directions to go in your own stories that you normally would not have thought of. You could also go with spur of the moment writing by thinking an idea and then writing what ever pops into your head.... no matter what it is just write it and see what comes of your thoughts.
Just some ideas to think about.

I love how everyone thinks it's about writing:3
I edit for a few people and I write spur of the moment anyways :D
