When you sit down to blog, or have a creative project of any kind you need to work on, how do you get yourself motivated to do it?

As long as I’m fully rested and alert, I can essentially write about any topic (even topics about which I have no background knowledge) because I tend to make random and intruging connections with topic prompts and past experiences that are so unexpected that they’re funny.
