I wish I actually was able to keep my motivation to write. I have two unreleased stories that I love the concept of but never have been able to properly do justice. The first one was called Cuori Congelati, was meant to be a romance story between Ghiaccio and Esdeath. The start of it began with the death of Ghiaccio and his rebirth when he wakes up in a shallow lake in a new world. The second story was a Kickass in RWBY story, kind of corny I know. I changed him around quite a bit from his source material. I gave him a semblance that took away his aura so he’d take damage and heal like a normal human but he could also ignore other peoples aura making it a double edged sword. A quick summary of the intro would be he gets into a fight at the huntsman academy he’s at (like signal) and manifests his semblance as he’s getting beat down and is able to turn the fight around. He gets expelled for “unprovoked” fighting which he only started to protect a faunus student. He runs away from home after losing his chance to follow his dream, ends up in Menagerie. Saves Blake from some thugs and gives the same speech he gave in the movie when he fought off the thugs. Also, he knows that his family is distant family of the Branwens and that he has a cousin named Yang but he chooses to avoid them thinking they’d take him back home. My idea for the story was he kept going forward until he went over the edge, with the more he learned about just how corrupted the world was the darker and more brutal he became, eventually culminating in the chapter Baby’s First Kill.

@I_bet_you_miss_Obama The motivation to write comes from your own personal connection to the story from what I've experienced. The less connected you feel to a story, the less motivated you feel to write it. Fanfiction saps a fundamental piece of personal connection to the stories we write based on the nature of it alone. I've found the best way to motivate myself to write comes from random bursts of inspiration when I'm doing anything BUT writing. I then sit down and carry that motivation into writing. But then there are times when I don't feel motivated to write at all. In those moments, I force myself to start writing to get something done, then I end up doing that for 3 or 4 hours on end and realize I had more fun doing it than I thought I would. It's a strange feeling. Don't get yourself down because of a lack of motivation. Track that lack of motivation down to its source and deconstruct it.
