Alright, so i'm looking for advice, and some motivation to start making some stories again.
For starters, I do have a Fanfiction and Fimfiction account, although I barely go on Fanfiction since it has turned into quite a ghost town since the last time I visited the site, which was late last year; and I tend to go on Fimfiction just for reading other peoples' works for now.
I have not made a story based on MLP, but I did make some stories back in 2010-late 2011, and at the time being I enjoyed making stories & chapters, and still do on occasions (if i'm motivated enough). I have tried to finish a story back in August 2012, but I only managed to finish 2 chapters before I lost motivation, and had no interest in updating it for a while.
So, some of you may be wondering why would I would be asking for advice if I have no motivation to story making at the time being. Well, to answer that, I was looking through some of my junk files on my laptop and I found a few of the story chapters i've first made; along a few 'character background' files for a story I decided to start on because I had nothing to do at the time and some of my friends on Skype suggested that I should try to create a story for fun. After reading some of those files, I somewhat missed creating new stories and finishing chapters to a ongoing story. I guess some of my motivation came back, although i'm not entirely sure if I would even be bothered to create another chapter or story or not, even though I would love to have that feeling again.
Well, to end this, I would like to know from any story writer or a former story writer, how would you guys go about gaining motivation to finishing up a story? This has been a problem for me ever since I started making my first multi-chapter story, and along with being a Junior in HS, this won't help much. I will appreciate the advice given.
