Do it when it sucks. Do it when it doesn't suck. Most important do it every day whether it sucks or it doesn't suck. Embrace the suck! I -dentity, A -ction and F -eelings. Can elaborate if need be...
Best thing I ever did for my writing was to join a writers group. Join one that meets weekly and with the same people. It gives you a deadline and also motivates you because you want to give them good stuff and you see them writing kick-ass pieces that make you want to work even harder.
A - Think about what started you on the path to become a writer.
B - Your writing should be so interesting that YOU can't wait to find out what happens next. If you find it boring and hard to get back to, so will a reader.
I see this got a little off topic either way, I appreciate the comments and help from everyone. I wrote this post some weeks ago and I think it's kind of cool I'm still getting responses. I'm new this world but writing has been my passion for as long as I could remember. My dream is to be able to tell stories on the big screen or even TV. Any way to get my work out in the world. Thanks again everyone for the help. Now I have to get back to writing.

Just do it. You'll get motivated when you start, but don't wait for motivation. A writer who doesn't write isn't a writer. Just write.

Work on shorts and feature movies. Meet cast & crew, learn a trade and get paid.

The most motivating thing I can think of would be the 20 minutes of previews at your corporate cinema.

Motivation? How 'bout Wolves howling in the cold night right outside your cabin door?

Get someone to pay you. Someone paid me last night and I wrote my ass off.
