I am an embodiment of awesome. Of course I'm naturally attracted to something as awesome as I am.
And don't change the title. Because that is the truth about me too. ;)

Totally missed your discussion because I was having a dreaded class...

Anyway, I can relate to you regarding lack of or low in motivation when it comes to writing. I get writer's block often, largely due to my inability to really sit down and concentrate for too long. My mind always hop from one idea to another, so in the end I'd end up with so many ideas but all hanging in the middle of nowhere with no idea how I'm going to finish or complete the story, lol.

One way for me to curb this problem is through gathering prompts from observing the things and people around me. This method works for me because I'm more of a spontaneous type of person rather than planning everything down beforehand and stick to the plan down to the last letter. Don't control motivation, because you just can't - let your mind drift and inspirations might just come naturally to your doorstep. :)

[quote=@Shoryu Magami]Sometimes if I need to get the motivation, I'll listen to music, or put on a game/anime, or read a manga. I'll try to just immerse myself in something that puts me into the write mind state for the type of writing I need to do. Have you ever tried doing something like that? I know it doesn't work for everyone.[/quote]

This is another method I'd use to motivate me to write stuff; however, for music I am very particular (I have a very strict taste with music due to my background playing in a military/symphonic band in the past), that I only listen to non-vocal tracks. Vocals are quite distracting and sometimes they tend to annoy rather than motivate me.
