Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1.When did you first discover that you wanted to be a writer? 2.Where were you? 3.What experience led you to make decision to write?

If writers become aware that they are dreaming solely of fame and fortune when reflecting on question "why do I write," than it may be time to search deeper within themselves to learn if writing is indeed what they are meant to do.

When we answer these questions and become more tuned into our needs, we can begin to reflect on what sustains and feeds our writer’s soul.

Every writer has his or her own unique way of keeping writing fuels burning. For some, it is simply a matter of maintaining a writing schedule and habitually sticking with it like brushing their teeth or eating a meal at a specific time. For others, it is important to be in company of writers, whether it’s a few writer friends, a group or a seminar.

There is no secret to maintaining your momentum as a writer. Whatever works for you will be best choice.

The key to writing well is a deeper understanding of ourselves, what motivates us and what fuels our writing. When you find yourself struggling with written word, reflect on what it means to be a writer and you will be back in zone in no time.
