I've been recently reading Susan Perry's book 'Writing in Flow' as well as her related blog on Psychology Today. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/creating-in-flow Sustaining motivation is something of an art, one I suspect every writer or creative individual needs to find their own way of doing. For me, I need to abandon the futile quest for perfection (which is all about fear) and reconnect with that sense of excitement and fun which I had when I started this crazy journey (which is all about awe and wonder). To quote Chumbawamba's song Tubthumping: 'I get knocked down. But I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down'. Hey, thanks for the encouragement, Cassie.

Sustaining motivation is something of an art, one I suspect every writer or creative individual needs to find their own way of doing.

For me, I need to abandon the futile quest for perfection (which is all about fear) and reconnect with that sense of excitement and fun which I had when I started this crazy journey (which is all about awe and wonder).

To quote Chumbawamba’s song Tubthumping:

‘I get knocked down.
But I get up again.
You’re never gonna keep me down’.
