What motivates us to want to write? It's about asking ourselves tough questions. What does motivation mean to me? Why do I want to write?

A writer’s block, burnout, and a lack of creativity are just some of the common struggles a writer experiences during the week. Pile on some rejection (from clients, publications, a mean troll), no one reading our stuff and a fear of putting ourselves out there again, it’s no wonder writers find it tough to keep going.

However, we pick ourselves up again and again, trudging along that writer’s path, discovering moments of creativity, bursts of inspiration, stories of greatness and at times, lulls of mediocrity.

I recently wrote a post where I detailed what happened when I published 25 articles in one month (and accepted by publications). One of the readers prefaced her question with “Ooooh, deep question” and asked,

Deep indeed. I wrote back, telling her that I’ll need some time to think about it and thanking her for giving me an idea to write about.
