Hey writers and welcome to your third writing prompt. I hope you enjoyed this first and second writing prompt as I know I've heavily enjoyed getting to see your feedback and I can't wait to see what you have for this next one. So today what we're gonna be focusing on is motivation or why we do the thing that we do. Think about anything that you do throughout your day. You know as far as eating, as far as eating the restroom, getting out of bed, going to bed, going to school, going to work. Why do you do these things? You know on the surface some of these might be a little bit obvious. You know because you're hungry, you go to bed, because you're tired, you go to school or work because you have to go to school or work, right? But not every decision you make is that obvious. You know why do you play video games? Why do you write? Why do you read? Why do you watch the show that you do? Listen to the music that you do. Now the obvious answer is because you like these things, right? But why? Why do you like these things? What attracts you to these things? Learning the answer to that I think is really important in knowing who you are and who you want to be as well as the thing that you enjoy doing and will enjoy doing, moving into the future. I think that learning our own motivations is really helpful for helping us to figure out where we want to go in life or for our characters where they're going to go in life, what they're going to do next. So let's think about this and let's break this down. So let's say I want to be a doctor. So if I want to be a doctor, what about how to do? I have to go to school, right? And why do I want to be a doctor? So I want to help people because I want to help people. So I'm going to go to school so I can be a doctor so I can help people. But underneath all of that helping people is my motivation for doing everything. But you know that might not seem so obvious when I'm taking a math class in college and that doesn't necessarily pertain to helping people but that will help me to help people in the future. Make sense? So think about anything that you do. Think about you know anything that you've done throughout the past few weeks and ask yourself why you did those steps. I want you to write down five to ten things that you did and then with each thing, I want you to write down why you did that thing or what made you want to do that thing. But don't simply say if you listen into music, why you listen into music? Oh because I like that music. But why do you like that music? What draws you to that music? Or let's say you know if you don't want to write about yourself, why does a character do a certain thing? Why does a character, if you have a character, who did a detective? Why does a character want to be a detective? Do they want to help people? Is there something else going on? You know what it to be explored in that? And I want you to write about that. Now I hope you have a great day. I hope you enjoy writing and I'll see you next time. Enjoy.
