I'll suggest your motivation for now should be to find fullfilment in your hobby. You can monetize later. You can incorporate photography into your blogging
As in put in the pics of what you blog. If you reside in lagos, you can blog about the lagos traffic and put in funny pics  . If the pics are high quality you might even sell them at some websites

echelon. thanks a lot for taking out time to reply. i truly appreciate. but i need a motivation, even if not money, say a request for my stories or pictures, or a competition or something. is there any avenue u know of i can do some freelancing, even if i wont be paid(though pay is welcome )

God bless u brother, or is it sister??

I'll say for now stick with some sort of diary keeping - as in a blog. Why? To assess/ develop your writing first. With time you'll graduate to all those you mention. Let self expression be your motivation for now 

Take care and happy new year 2009!!!
