I really wish I had a more complete and firm grasp on proper grammar and composition, because I lately find myself wanting to write stories ALL THE TIME. I get these little snippets of detail from the world, and, in three seconds, my mind has composed an entire short story or novel / novella outline based on these little pinpricks of glamour.

Just now, I saw a photo of a small church that had been erected in the middle-of-nowhere forests of Russia, near Mongolia. This reminded me of the tiny Trinity Church, similar in appearance and theme, built in Antarctica.



There's just GOT to be a story about that.

Something about Elder Gods, a small organization (or cult?) of Russian priests and monster-hunters, churches as secret outposts or bastions, watching over sealed-but-rumbling gateways... it's there, and I want to write it, then draw it.

Must. Find. Motivation.

Where does your motivation come from? What kicks your arse and makes you write?
I'd love to hear it.
