Eight Surefire Ways To Stay Motivated
Do
you have trouble finishing
your writing projects? Do
you sometimes wonder what’s
the point? Do rejections make
you want to give up all toge
ther?
You’re not alone. Writing isn’t always fun, especially when
your efforts don’t seem to make a difference. But if
you want to succeed,
you can’t stop.
You must keep going even when
you don’t feel like it. Here are eight great ways to stay motivated:
1) Read biographies. What
you’re feeling or going through isn’t anything new. Find out how o
thers worked through it. Find someone whose career
you admire and read about how
they kept going and
the strategies
they used. Read articles on various authors’ websites - many share how
they’ve broken through doldrums and what helped
them along
the way.
2) Find a buddy. Find someone who
you know will lift
your spirits. Don’t go for anyone ‘sensible’ &ndash
their rational approach may not be helpful. Instead, it may feel like bad news. Find a ‘rainbow’ friend, someone who can smile in
the rain of doubt and discouragement. Let
them help boost
your ego and give
you the pep talks
you need.
