What motivates/inspires you to write?

I have a hard time getting myself in the right mindset for writing. I usually just wait till I get an idea in my head that won't let me do anything else until I put it down on paper. So I'm interested to know what motivates everyone here to write.

I'm like that sometimes. The idea just burns in you until you have to write it down or go mad. But if I want to get into the mood to finish something, I'll just start reading my old stuff too. I'll think, "That's pretty good" or "Alright, this time I'm gonna do better."

Life is an inspiation to me. I draw from personal experiences and the world around me. I offten think or say "Damn that sounds like the start of good story." At hat point I take out my little notebook and write down the idea. I may sit on in it for a day, week or month, but I always find a way to fit in in....or at least I plan to.
