I love writing. I love telling stories and putting all the fantasies and day dreams in my head down on paper. I write mostly for myself, though I share some with people and love it when they comment on it.
As much as I love it, I don’t do it enough. I get pulled by my vices (video games and anime mostly) and spent way more time on that than anything else. Even when I pull myself away from them, I still have school and work that takes my productivity away, and by the end of it, even if I feel like writing, I don’t.
I’d love to get back into it, especially going through my old stories and editing them to be better. It’s hard. I want to improve, but often I don’t know how. I want to keep doing it and write more, but I don’t want to stop enjoying it. I’ve got so much I need to do, so much else I want to do, and even when I have the time I keep getting distracted.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to vent.
No problem vent away. After months of not writing I finally started up again today. Don’t give up. Me I have been a slump because had 4 stories that I was editing. I love writing but editing drains me. But as of today I put 8 new pages together on a story and I am ready to finish other story I had started.
Only advice if you want any is write anything even only a page or a paragraph. Just by starting that little bit might be all you need to get the gears going and you be back to writing before you know it.
Writing is super hard when I’m well entertained.
It’s a lot easier when I make room for a little boredom here and there. The video games will always be there later.
I gave up long ago ever playing every unmissable game on my backlog. How would I ever get bored enough to write?
Go be bored. Being bored is the best way to jog creativity. There’s this Veritasium video on boredom that is very good.
