Actively Finding Motivation and Inspiration to Write

I've been writing a lot, since my first posts. My wife has been wonderfully supportive of my personal challenge to write more and publish. I'm finding that the more I write, the more I want to write. However, once I stop, it can be difficult to get going again. One or two days of non-writing and the motivation scale can drop dramatically. Fortunately, my wife has been extremely encouraging. Also, I am doing my best to actively find motivation and inspiration. As events occur throughout the day, I'm thinking about how they could be used in a story. I'm jotting notes. I carry a tape recorder in my car for my daily commute. Overall, I am working to create opportunities to generate insight and capture it.

So far, I'm finding that the more I am open to finding motivation and inspiration for writing (and for anything in life), the more I am actively seeking it, the more it happens.
