Hedging your bets
When losing weight, one of the ideas offered is to put a photo of a thinner self, or maybe a svelte model in clothes you like, on the front of the refrigerator to help you keep making healthy choices during times of stress discourage.
I try to keep extra writing projects or ideas in the pipeline so that when I bump up against a dry spell with a lengthy work-in-progress I have other writing I can work on to stay motivated.
If that fails, you can keep a copy of a mortgage statement or a car insurance bill on hand. It's not the same happy kind of motivation, but it might keep you from giving up, even if writing is a side job.
