We asked writers what helps them stay motivated.

1. No cute coffee shop with notebook for me. It's all about snuggling up in bed with the laptop, a cup of tea and SoundCloud drip-feeding me music with the perfect ambience for the mood of the story.
And when I need to get out of my bubble, I go to literary events where authors talk about their writing and publication journeys. That always has me rushing back home abuzz with dreams and new inspiration.

2. Make a playlist that makes you think about the characters and the story, that way it keeps you motivated and fresh.
