What motivates me is knowing that if I manage to do my 1667 words a day every day through November, I'll have a potential book-to-be-published at the end. After a crapton of editing, of course, but having something that's around 50k words is better than having nothing, which is what would happen if I never took part in NaNo.
This is my second NaNo, and I think the reason for why I am doing it is because otherwise, I would never accomplish anything with my writing. I always say, "Oh, I'll write at some point," but I never get around to it. NaNo forces me to stop gaming long enough to get my 1667 words. And also because why not? :) And this year, because I know that I can do it, and because winning a NaNo is one of the best feelings ever.
