If you are a church goer (or were) do you dress up or are you more laid back and your clothing more casual

Where do you draw your inspiration from

Do you color your hair and if so, 1) when was the last time and 2) do you color it regularly

What are you reading 

If you rent movies, what was the last one you rented and was it good

1. I go to church for weddings and funerals, so I'm dressed appropriately.

2. I don't draw.

3. Yes, within a few weeks, and yes.

4. I am in the middle of several books. 

The New Jim Crow 

The Maze Runner 

The Lowland

Mythology 101

The Devil in White City

5. Grand Budapest Hotel. I really love the style.

It's a very deep thing. It must be somethign that affects the core of who I am.  Motivation is much more superficial. </p>

Yes, this.

I can agree with that and add in sav's comments about inspiration being deeper emotionally.

When I think of motivation I think of something more physical, I get motivated to exercise, to clean, I get motivated to shop if there's a big sale going on," ------------- How about getting motivated to write a term paper or study for an exam?

The school year hasn't begun yet, But I certainly hope so. 

ETA I'd have to ask my kids about this one, When I was in primary school I don't think I was particularly motivated to write papers, it was more of a necessary evil to me, Lol.  College is another story and teachers are tougher IME which can be a motivater in itself.

In my experiences (and that of my kids and various others I know), papers aren't written until at least middle school, if not high school.   I guess one could call the essays that might be written in 4-5th grade "papers' ...

I don't write papers because I'm motivated to achieve a good grade. I achieve good grades by writing papers that I feel exposit the knowledge and understanding that I've gained from the course. 

Different learning styles, I guess.
