How do you make yourself write?
I have this idea in my head, I keep thinking about it, I've got the characters and most of the plot, I've even started writing it, but I just cannot get myself to consistently sit down and write.
When I started in fandom I didn't have this issue at all (the opposite even), but without the structure of fandom (the fest deadlines, the friends waiting to beta, the general feeling of people out there waiting to read the fic) I'm struggling. There just isn't any urgency, I guess. The idea could sit in my head for forever, other than that I'd like to write it.
Any tips and tricks that you use to get yourself writing? Or is this just the downside of writing original, the need for more self-motivation than I seem to possess?!
