My gods, if you require incentive and don't feel you have any then just don't create. The rest of us take the risk of someone knocking us over the head and taking out ipods shoes whatever every day. The world can be a hostile place but no one's holding a gun to your head and demanding you write a book paint a picture or compose a song.
