What keeps you motivated to write?

1. I want to help other people become better programmers. Particularly, write things in a way I would have liked to have seen when I was learning.
2. I want to delete all my offline notes and have them as articles instead. I prefer my notes to be links to resources, rather than having my own offline text notes.

That generally keep me writing. I write because I want to write so I can do those things. It's like a pull, rather than pushing myself to write. It doesn't mean that sometimes I don't feel like it though. But I feel like not being in the mood for work is different to not liking the work you do, so to speak.

I am just gullible, every time I discover something what I think is interesting, which I want to share with someone, I write it. Keeps me from pestering people with it :)

Motivation will bring you so far. You need habits and systems. I simply sit down in the morning to write before I would start working. If I don't feel like... if I'm not motivated... who cares? That's part of my daily routine.

I know it's not very glamorous, but that's how I've been posting an article every single week for more than 4 years.

I would say, just by thinking the magic of it. I mean, I know each time I have to write something, I have a general idea of it, but I know there will be some kind of magic that will operate, sort of a flow or inspiration that will come as I’m writing that goes through me and on the screen or paper I’m doing.

Sometimes I amaze myself reading stuff I wrote weeks or months ago and then I know the magic did happen again.

Community of learners which excite me write more n more.

Writing code or writing about tech? It's not clear what you mean.
