Discussion question: you all know those days where you just don't want to do anything that requires any sort of effort. How do you motivate yourself to write on days like that?

*rueful* Just here lately, mostly I don't. But when I'm being more assiduous, I kick myself in the ass and make myself do it anyway--I tell myself that I can stop after I've written so much, a hundred words, a paragraph, whatever. And sometimes that's enough, and I can manage to power through the blahs and remember that oh yeah, this is fun.
