Whenever I'm in the middle of a big project -- be it creative, academic, or otherwise -- there inevitably comes at least one moment where I say to myself, "Why am I doing this?" The drudgery of the hard work takes its toll, and the passion and enthusiasm that usually sustain me don't seem like they're enough anymore.
These moments usually pass on their own in time, but sometimes other things (a trip, some time away, working on something else, rewatching a favorite movie or rereading a favorite book, etc.) can snap me out of them. Sometimes, though, nothing seems to help.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has to get through these moments, especially in fanediting.
So maybe this is as good a place as any to start a thread to compile a bunch of ideas we can all benefit from.
What helps you discover (or rediscover) the spark?
What gets you (and keeps you) going, especially when the goal seems far away?
