Motivation
breathe me. asked:


I started writing a book a couple of years ago about living overseas, and it’s kind of been on and off. Now I’ve been seriously writing again, but I feel like slacking off because my ideas don’t feel exciting or new. Any motivation to continue or to improve ideas to make it more interesting so I actually have to desire to finish writing it?
