Here's 14 intrinsic motivation hacks that you can do to keep you writing daily. I grouped them into what you can do before > during > after writing.
Before:
Decide to become a writer, a person who writes daily
Enthusiasm is easy, commitment is uncommon - commit to it as you would for work
Learn to enjoy it - joy makes you return tomorrow
Pain > pleasure - leverage pain avoidance, take painful risks/disincentives

During:
Keep the bar low. 100-200 words a day
Compound - write 1% better each time
Switch mediums to keep things fresh - analog writing or change location
Set a 30min timer, take short breaks to sustain motivation
Finish. Unfinished projects are discouraging

After:
Reward yourself
Gamify your writing - count streak, words
Deload to reload - downtime recharges energy
Find your deeper why - review & figure out why you write daily
Give yourself permission to stumble. Missing a day is fine, just don't miss twice.
