Because your online and on RMN. Why not work on your games. I guess im asking:
What does it take for you to work on your games?

Inspiration, really. I have two projects going on two different programs, and unless I have the time and have been hit by inspiration, I can't do much with them. I can't have too many projects or I feel overwhelmed, so to prevent that, I keep a creative notebook to write all my ideas in.
Mainly motivation is what get's me creating games. I would work way harder on my games but work is a big factor in this and i do get easily bored.
Topic title was misleading. Fixed.
Anywho, what it takes is a scrap of free time (which is very scarce).

Indeed.
Seriously, could time stop for a little while? Like long enough for me to finish my game?
..please..? :-[
The game making process itself. The satisfaction of seeing what was once just ideas, become reality, usually inspires me enough to continue trudging on.

I normally have no problem with motivation or free time (not lately anyway) because I stay up late most nights. Whenever I feel a lack of motivation I simply work on something different or come back to it later. problem solved.
For me the only thing that makes me work on my game is extreme boredom. Usually GoW takes my interest, but if for some reason matchmaking is slow or lagging then I'll go work on my game. :-\
Currently, when there's nothing else to do. I get on extreme productivity / extreme laziness streaks.

AMEN. When I have my second baby coming up in March, I definately will have no time for game development for over a year at best. Two kids at this age? Hiatus on all projects.
I guess at first I thought I could make a good game & had a good idea, then reality struck me ... channeling your idea into an interesting readable story is really hard!
