Hey there! I can't believe I'm updating this but, it seems that a lot of people I know (Including myself, admittedly) have had trouble with motivation. So, I'm going to try to help with that.


After conversing with multiple real-life book authors, (not really, I just stalk their Twitter) and my current English teacher, I have recently learned that the best way to gain motivation is to just start writing. 

You start writing and don't stop. 

*Don't stop to fix your errors. 

*Don't stop to make it make sense

*Just don't stop writing

Just turn on some music, and start writing until you find your flow. Once you get into your flow, keep going. let everything out on the paper or the computer or whatever you are writing on.

A few reasons you might stop and ways to combat that:

*You don't know how best to fit the scene that you want in? No worries! Don't stop writing, just put in a brief summary in place of the scene and keep writing.

*You don't think the scene fits into your story well? That's perfectly fine! Don't stop writing, you have all the time in the world. You can go back and edit your work!

*You have different ideas for how a scene should happen? That's great! Write it down! write as many scenes as you'd like! While you're at it, if you have an idea for a funny version of that scene, don't be scared to write it off to the side. many authors have done this and do this frequently. 


All in all, just don't break your flow!

Love y'all! Bye! 🤍🖤
