I'm guessing this RP is more self-driven as opposed to GM-driven? And do we send in days worked or something?

It's self-driven, but it's not out of the question for Googer to step in at some point and include some kind of map-wide or regional event (maybe natural disasters?). 

As for your second question: you don't have to send in how many days your group worked. You just post and your income and whatnot will be somewhat based on that. Creative posts will probably help more than "Joe mined the ground." but you just basically have to be active.

Okay, I'm going to admit I am having a hard time with my next post. Not sure how to really motivate this character and just unsure of how to procede. Suggestions would be welcome.

When in doubt, make shit go badly? That's usually my thought process. If I feel stuck I think of having something bad happen to my character so I can make a post focusing on that and the aftermath of whatever it is that happened. Something bad happens > handles it > finds himself in tough spot > is forced to play dirty to bounce back from tough spot > in doing so, establishes contact/business with other characters.
