Motivation is always a fun thing, at least until you need to do it. For me, the best things that get me working.
1. Forcing myself to write at least one page. Normally, I bribe myself with 1 min of writing is 1 minute of a computer game. So, if I want to play for an hour, I need to write for an hour.
2. Secondary points of views. Sometimes, when I can't find the words, I write a random chapter from a different point of view, a secondary character or even (my favorite) a piece of grass or some object. It's fun and sometimes you get enough of a perspective to get you back in the mood.
3. Editing. When I get stuck, sometimes I got back 2-3 chapters and edit and it gets me back in the mood.

Mainly, the bribing helps me the most. :)
