How do you stay motivated as a writer?

Question

I've been posting daily (on Medium) since the beginning of the year but some days are definitely longer than others. What are your best tips to stay motivated ?

I have a million stories to tell (and to come, pending some editing), but sometimes it's tough to push through, not that I considered giving up though :)

@teekay how do you keep track of what you are posting every day? Do you use a content calendar?

Answer

As a writer, I find it helpful to set achievable goals and deadlines for myself, celebrate small wins along the way, and remind myself of the bigger picture and purpose behind my writing. I also prioritize taking breaks and doing things that inspire and energize me, like reading or going for a walk, to avoid burnout and maintain my motivation.

Writers are influenced by what they see, hear, and read. Most writers were and are avid readers. Writers interested in stage and screen tend to support those media, too. As a result, the works of other writers influence a writer. duck life
