Motivation is a means of getting some extra oompff when you think the creative petrol tank is on zero. 

Hey Antony Robbins explains motivation best when he talks about the pleasure and pain principle.

Normally if you need some motivation you have got to a point where there is a lot of pleasure happening and not much end result. 

Something like Watching some great sport instead of doing your daily 2000 words if you are a writer. 

May be things have just become a bit mundane and you need a spark or more like a firework of inspiration.  Well why not have fun while you do it.

Writing is a great way to break through boredom or the mudane. It is a fun way to express yourself.  If you have a passion for something – WRITE ABOUT IT!! 

If you think something is newsworthy write a press release and get it into your local paper.  If you are really passionate about a subject and would prefer to write a more in depth feature article well that is just fantastic.
