What are some ways to motivate yourself to actually write your damn book when other things tempt you instead? Honestly, if I can get myself to write, I think what I'm writing is pretty good. This thing I'm doing right now--making this thread--it's not writing my book either!

>reading
>tv/movies
>vidya
>fapping
>internet/4chan/etc

These are all things distracting me from writing. Please help.

The idea of dying having accomplished jack shit, like an asshole.

Even if zero people read my book, I will die slightly more contented.

Also it's about a heroin

Remove all distractions. Disconnect your internet, for example.

Set a daily goal for yourself: 1000 words a day or something. Not x hours, because you'll dick around during that time instead of writing.

Have a friend read your chapters, so you'll have an obligation to write to another person instead of just yourself.

There, I gave you three tips. Now stop making excuses for yourself and start writing

>>9638895
Your thread alone makes it clear that you should not ever write a single word because you're neither talented nor inspired. Your writings would only pollute the literary world. Please, do something else.

Relying on motivation is a trap. You don't get shit done by being motivated, you get it done through discipline.
These tips >>9639504 help build discipline

>you get it done through discipline
well cucked, my friend

Both motivation and displine are typical American lies, i.e. a bunch or bullshit for which you all constantly fall. You write good shit solely and exclusively if you're inspired and naturally, instinctively moved towards it.

Thanks guys. Bumping for more.

Have you tried smoking weed?

Don't fap. It removes the testosterone-driven aggression that men need to motivate themselves

yep, gives inspiration but makes me easily distracted/amused

Laundromats are so fucking aesthetic and haunting holy shit.

Start smoking tobacco as a ritual before you write. Having a predictable routine every day is key.

>>9638895
If you're not motivated to write it, it's probably shit.

The end product will be artificial and lame.

If you don't care about writing enough to actually fucking write instead of doing other stupid shit:

Don't fuckin write.

The thing is, I DO have motivation. The inspiration within me to write my books is overwhelming at times, but at the same time, my thirst for hedonistic and leisure activities competes with that spring of inspiration. It's not that I'm lazy, or lack motivation, but that the simple pleasures in life are extremely powerful---equal or greater in power to my well of inspiration. My spirit is willing----too willing, sickeningly willing---but my flesh is weak.

have you read what a lot of writers have said on writing? Many have said that if you can pour out writing maybe you really are just turning on a shit fountain.
