    Default Need Motivation? read this

    I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It's written from the perspective of a writer, but the advice is not unique to writing (or even to art in general, for that matter). If you're like me, you will (as the guy who wrote the intro admitted) see yourself looking back guiltily from every page. It's a quick read or listen, and if this doesn't motivate you to get off your ass and create, nothing will.

    I'm at work and I only have it on audiobook, so quoting an excerpt would be difficult. The general idea of it though is breaking through your own resistance to doing what you really want to do and short circuiting the thinking that sabotages yourself. That description makes it sound kind of like typical cheesy self help, which it really isn't. It's more about confronting yourself than feel good self-validation. You won't like some of the things about yourself that it forces you to look at, I sure didn't, but I can't deny that he's right about them. There's also some spiritual stuff that I felt was a little to specific to his worldview, but if you can find the underlying meaning of it and apply that it's helpful.
