What is the best motivational technique to keep going back and writing? I might need more structure, as in having a goal e.g. writing 2000 words a day? Any suggestions appreciated! :)

Do not create "agressive" deadlines (for example: 2000 words a day). This isn't necessary as your not a published author. Be patient. Wait for inspiration.
Many of my friends have signed up to NaNoWriMo and found that helped kick-start them.
I've found it's easiest to get everything down on the paper and promise yourself you can edit later. Otherwise I find myself editing before I write, and very little hits the page!
I think it is very individual. My writing coach helped me to find the best way, time etc for me to write. I asked her to email me every day for 3 weeks till I got into my new habit of daily writing, with encouragement. The quality of my writing has really improved which is encouragement in itself. In fact, I'm off to do my writing right now! If you want the contact details of my writing coach, let me know.
