Friends! Friend sin your fadom are more valuable than gold; trwasure them.
Finding a friend to cheerlead and squee with me, or maybe even co-write, keeps me going. The fastest, happiest writing experience I ever had was basically chat-fic where I talked through the story as I wrote it, then added more depth later when I edited and sent it to a beta reader.
Sure, I have times when I hate a story, and if I'm co-writing, my co-writer friend will have periods where they hate it, but they don't usually coincide. And we usually encourage each other out of our writing lows. Even if we spot a problem, we'll work to come up with a solution. This often makes the story stronger, too.
