Deadlines. I truly believe that a deadline is one of the most effective motivators for writers. When I started writing over a decade ago, I used to see writers grumbling about deadlines and feel a pang of jealousy because, hey, no one was waiting for my writing! Now, I have deadlines too – sometimes agreed with my agent, sometimes promised to an editor but always, always promised to myself. That’s how I am inspired to write: by knowing that I have to.
