Great tips and very inspirational. I’ve tried some of those tips already in the past, and they have indeed worked. I’ve been going through a motivational rough patch lately. I guess it’s time to put some of the into action again!

WOW, great tips!

I especially like this one: “Create tight imaginary deadlines for yourself to spur you on.” Though I’ve heard many examples of people doing this in the past, I’ve decided to finally try it. For a year or so, I’ve been trying to save up for a house. So, a good motivator would be to tell myself, “If you don’t get this writing task done, you’ll never be able to buy that dream house you’ve always wanted” or “After you write this article, you’re one step closer to buying your dream house. If you don’t get the article done now, there won’t be another chance.” Simple thoughts like that I know will keep my fingers moving. Brilliant!

I also like your Twitter tactic. I’ve been wanting to become more active on a social network like Twitter for a very long time. Not only will this tactic help motivate me, but it will also keep me active and (hopefully) increase my follower base… which then helps my business. I can also incorporate this idea in other social networks, like Facebook!

Thanks a bunch for the motivational boost. I’ll get started right away!

This is definitely helpful for me. I have a terrible habit of blogging with the television blasting. I wonder how I compose the articles I do. I wonder how much better I’ll do if I shut out all distractions as you advised. hmmm These are such great tips. Thanks for posting

Lovely to read all these ideas and find that I’m not the only one who uses these little tricks to get going with things. Who said Twitter’s a waste of time? Now I’ve got in the swing of writing after a year or two of doing it almost daily I’m bookmarking with a friend on our business goals. Mine being my blog of course. I think the main thing is to keep at it no matter what and hang out at places like this where you’re surrounded by people with similar goals. Thanks everyone:)

This was so inspiring and really helpful to me today. I loved the Twitter thing too (and did it this morning!) I also liked that you banged out a 70K mss. in a year by telling yourself that if you didn’t write it that year, you never would. I’m doing the same thing, but have been diddling around for the last 3 mos. I think your piece put me back on track, and for that I am SO GRATEFUL!!

From my own experience, I’d have to say point 6 is the best! I recently got a friend to check my work, chapter by chapter. She was so quick to send me feedback that my editing pace had to pick up to keep up. And the comments were a great spur! My final edit is flying!

GREAT post Annabel, some wonderful tips there. I’d steal them and present them as my own work, but that would be so mean, you deserve full credit.

I’ve just gotten through a few tips on motivation myself on my blog http://goingdownwriting.wordpress.com/ look out for the one about Writers Block and the one about Keeping Going.

Thanks again, love your stuff, and following you over to your your blog right now!
