I just need some writing advice... What did you do to regain your enthusiasm in writing articles?
Personally...
I changed what I was writing about. I mean, on here I write mostly spiritual stuff, but I found (recently) that I don't know that much about spirituality...
I have begun to write about the world I created when I was a child and have been "perfecting" ever since.
Though, I have found a bit of inspiration by reading other people's hubs, magazine articles, books, having conversations, looking at nature, etc...
Perhaps, what you need is a twist on an old subject. You could look at the other side of one of your hubs and write a hub about the opposite of the subject...
I hope this helps.
Honestly, I motivate myself by checking how many views and how much money I've made each day. Whenever I get some spare time, I'll answer questions and start writing articles. I try my best to be super productive and always on the ball, but it takes a lot of motivation and focus. I would encourage you to set goals that you know you can reach, and then slowly and steadily focus on achieving them within a certain time frame if you find yourself lacking enthusiasm for your writing.
I recently had this problem, so when I can't think of anything to write about I read through the question section, I almost always find something that sparks my interest enough to write a decent hub.
Play helps me. Mindless creative pursuits like coloring in a coloring book and reading children's picture books at the local library remind my writer self that creating doesn't have to be work. A half an hour spent on this once a week has worked wonders for stoking my passion for writing.

Is writing articles ever a chore for you?My goal for now is to write at least one article every day, and so far I'm having fun since I'm fairly new. I have an overwhelming number of ideas that I want to write about. But I imagine after a while I'll be forcing myself to write. Do you write only when...

I've never really done this before, so this is sort of a new venture for me. I write for my own amusement, but, being so green, I have no feel for whether my fiction is good, bad, indifferent, horrifyingly bad, or ( I dont' even dare hope) amzingly good. I have only written...
