Talking about my project is always good. I think the key is to try to remember what it was about the project that excited you when it first came to you. If you can tap into that again, it'll rekindle the flame.
Another good motivator is picturing what it'll be like in the future when the project is complete. That's especially good when you're not just talking about one particular story, but for example if you're trying to become published, thinking about the end goal can be a motivator.
I also try to break projects into tiny chunks. Doing, say 500 words a day, or even 100 words a day, isn't TOO hard to get motivated for. And on days when I'm not feeling very motivated, I can just tell myself that I'll feel way better if I get this one little thing done, rather than failing to meet my goal. If the project seems overwhelming, it's hard on those bad days.
