I'm sure I'm just like a lot of writers out there (not gonna pretend to be original, haha), in that I uh... am not the most consistent producer of material. I have moments where, typically, I write a 5k chapter and then let my WIP sit and collect dust for the next couple of weeks.

Obviously, this is a problem. I'm working on it, but it's not easy. I wouldn't really be able to explain why, either. It's definitely not a lack of motivation. A lot of the times, I'm teeming with ideas, but I just don't write. Trust me, if that's weird for you to read, it's even weirder for me to experience.

But the questions is for you. How often do you write? Do you know why you write certain times and why you don't at others?

What motivates you to write?

   I usually write in bursts. About 3k-5k a day. That will happen for several days and then I'll end up skipping a few days of writing. If the 'skipping days' reach a week (I try to avoid that), I try and get back into it. If I can't then I try and motivate myself. Usually with music or YouTube videos of authors (like J.K. Rowling's A Year in the Life or book signings).

   I write randomly. Some weeks, I write every day, then I just completely stop. I have no clue why, I just have times when I don't feel like writing.
   
   Listening to music or reading a good book tends to make me want to write more.
