PROMPT: Regarding your craft of writing, is there something specific you want to improve on or give more attention? What steps will you take to motivate yourself?

On this motivational-blue Monday, I'm drinking my second writing.com travel mug of motivation and attempting to stay awake, or at least not fall asleep in the keyboard. I can feel a depression coming on, and I don't like it because when I'm depressed I can't do anything constructive or even destructive. I'm working on 200 poems dedicated the The Bab,"Bicentenary Poems and Prose" , for the bicentenary of His birth.

How do I find motivation? This is a good question, at this point I'm just writing and hoping the motivation comes. I figure if I just keep writing the motivation will come. Of course, if I fall asleep at the keyboard it might be a bit difficult to write. That is if I don't fall asleep at the keyboard.... I go away from this for a bit, and took a nap. The nap helped. I'm still looking for motivation, so I think I'll pretend I found it and push forward the rest of the day.
