Although I am not a writer, I have had a fairly recent experience where I finally got to doing something I had wanted to do for a long time. I beleive that it starts with receiving some information that convinces you that it is really important that you get your goal accomplished. This kind of information could come from anywhere, and might not be obviously connected with your goal.

But you need more than motivation. You also need a plan of how to get started. Once you know how to get started and can stick with it long enough to develop the habits involved in doing it, then you are all set. A goal without a plan is just a wish. And a goal without motivation just isn't going anywhere.
