There’s nothing like a great book that gets me motivated to write and revise again but I’ve been in a rut with revisions lately. After and during reading an inspired book, it ignites my passion to create a world as amazing as the story I’m reading. I know that it’s easier said that done.
Although, there are times I read an average or not-so-great book and it still urges me to write better. There’s something about reading a book that motivates me to create my own world and story. It gives me an incentive to keep writing and to tell my story. Does anyone else feel this way?
My advice is to find the things that ignites your motivation to work on your dreams.
It looks like reading is one of my motivations but I’d like to find alternative modes of inspiration so that if reading doesn’t work, I can refer to other methods. Do you have ways to get you inspired? Please share them in the comments below!
I know there are some writers who don’t read books while they draft but I found out it doesn’t really bother me. I feel like my stories are different enough but I’m concerned I may unconsciously borrow an idea. If that happens I hope betas and editors will point them out if that ever happens.
I’m still looking for beta readers if you’re interested! All in all, I’m trying to keep my passion for this story alive. I’ve been going up and down with how I feel about this book but I can’t seem to quit it so here I am, still doing my best to make a story worth reading and sharing.
How do you guys stay motivated and keep that passion ignited as you draft or revise?
