Write a chapter, stick it on the internet and tell everyone you know to go and have a look at it. Then do the same thing the next week, and the week after, until it is finished. The encouragement to continue will come from increasing pageviews each week, and/or comments about it from people you don't know.

5. Type up and post signs around your home or office to get thinking about writing. Here are some examples:
“Rita Emmett --- Best Selling Author”
“I’m so happy my book, The Procrastinator’s Handbook, is on the Best Seller List.”
“All the top TV shows want to interview me about my best selling book.” (By the way, once my book was published, I was soon interviewed by Katie Couric, among many others)
“Ahhhhhhh - - the joy of writing a best selling book.”

Very bad idea. Aim for the top and you just set yourself up for disappointment, which will in turn lead to giving up writing out of frustration for not achieving unachievable goals.
