The Myth of Motivation

Welcome to Episode 28 of the QWERTY Writing Life Podcast with Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith! November is almost half done, so we’re wondering: Are you still pumped about writing now that NaNoWriMo is almost halfway over? Whether you are participating in NaNo or not, motivation is ALWAYS in the Creative’s conversation. Today’s topic is all about motivation and determination. We’re putting our own definitions to each for the creative context and attempting to answer the frequently asked question of how to maintain motivation with, we hope, some more long-term answers.

Our QWERTY Challenge will have you going deep again and asking yourself some deep questions about who you are so you can decide who you’re going to be and how you’re going to get there.
