I'm a bit low on the word count so if anyone can give me tips, or motivational speaking it would be appreciated

Keep writing! Even if all your ideas are junk, write something.

Sometimes I just write nonsense scenes, where the characters from my novel do bizarre things in bizarre situations. I'll never actually use them or show them to anyone, but sometimes they help get me going.

Or start an argument. Conflict is always good, and once you get going in the quick back-and-forth of an argument between two (or more) characters, you'll be surprised at how much you can write.

Ah. Low on the word count. High five! :D
Well, there are others like ya.. So, well... Misery loves company!

Hmm...
Do what Areida suggested. Write nonsense scenes. ^^
That's what I did. And that alone got me about 500 words. :)

Good luck!

Just add an action scene. Have something unexpected happen and then write your characters reactions to it and what happens next and so forth.

Do a word war. Great motivation. xD

But...if nothing comes to you even with the pressure going for ya, try the above suggestions. Or, spend a whole writing session brainstorming/plotting, if that's more your style. Take a walk in the woods or something, listen to music that fits what you're trying to write, and simulate other various things you'd see/hear/smell as that character in a particular scene or plot arc you're trying to write. That generally helps me to at least a small degree; it at least gets my creative juices flowing.

I might be unique in that, though. :P
