I want to be a professional programmer because I'm under the impression programmers don't have to speak that much. The only programming language I know is Java because I took a few classes. I liked learning Java, and it came easy to me, but even though I want programming to be my job, I don't want to learn any more-- I prefer drawing manga pictures (which I'm bad at). What should I do?

remove your ribs and try to get your own penis into your mouth :)

speaking is fun nigga

Get better at drawing manga and hope for the best. Programming as a job involves working in teams and lots of communication.

Along with this question on motivation, how can you motivate yourself to program for multiple hours straight?

have a grand plan in your head, when you get bored take a look at the bigger picture and think about what to do next, your interest in the subject will grow

Yeah, I agree with >>5. If you are going to get programming as your job, you will communicate alot. As you need to explain your code to your team, and explaining the functions of your program to your client/boss.

As for >>6, I'm motivated to program for multiple hours when I know that I am getting progress at coding the program.

Give yourself a sequence of small, defined goals that you know you can easily achieve and that follow on from each other. I'm talking less than half an hour for each thing; you want to be able to know you can do it soon, but don't bother planning any smaller than that - tedium isn't fun.
Make sure that you can tell whether the thing works once you've done it for the sense of achievement, and the "Cool, now I've got that working, I can do this!" that follows.
Do this plan for a couple of different areas of your project so you have more to work on if you get stuck.
Optional: drink coffee and booze alternately. YMMV.
