Tips For Staying Motivated to Finish Your Book - podcast
Suzette Conway, former director of the Author Learning Center, gives tips on how to stay motivated to write a book. One way to motivate yourself is to set goals every day, such as a word count, number of hours, or task. Another tip is to remember to take breaks to boost productivity. Tell friends and family that you are working on your goal so that they can support you and understand when you are busy. Work when you are the most productive, whether that's the mornings or nights. Writing is a solitary practice, so getting out of the house and interacting with people can boost your motivation and creativity.

Yes, getting out of the house is what motivates me to continue to finish my book also setting time blocks (how many hours a day) I work on my book is simple and I found is one of the best ways for me to complete my book as well. Thanks!

Thanks, this gives me some goals to work toward. I need to make a schedule so that this project is included in my daily (or at least weekly) goals.
