Hmmm, the thing that gets me stuck most often is comments. Not the content, so much - I've been really lucky with nice comments so far - but the quantity. It always makes me feel awfully entitled, but getting little to no comments does feel pretty discouraging. I try to combat that by setting my expectations lower, making things specifically for other people (that way I know at least one person read/listened to it!), and doing my best to convince myself that I'm only doing this for my own enjoyment (which I do, but not only because of that! If that were the case I wouldn't ever bother putting anything Moines.) So far I have only had limited success with above methods. More successful is signing up to challenges (i get things done because deadlines! But I don't do this very often because creating things for challenges is less fun for me.). And when I get a particularly awesome comment I'm usually inspired to write/record more. ^^
