I’m back to writing again. Let’s see how long this lasts.

I’ve been trapped in a cycle for the past couple of weeks of wanting to get back into writings my fanfics, but also dreading the very idea of rereading them. It’s sorta embarrassing in a way to reread the stuff I wrote.
My stories are usually so personal to my thoughts in the moment, and sometimes I can’t stand revisiting them as a result. Some ideas only seem right because of the mood I’m writing in. But once the moment passes, I see it all very differently.
Still I also love writing and I get too much satisfaction from it to ever stop. I’m just weird about my own writing sometimes. I know I’m not a great writer, but I write from the heart.

Sorry for the lack of updates on stories. I was trying to stay off the internet to avoid Sonic 3 spoilers! Not sure when I’ll return to writing, but hopefully soon.

The Sonic movie hype is so strong, I haven’t written anything in days XD
TheSonicBase
@Slepyhedgehog I saw you made a fanfic of the Sonic movie, mostly on the first one. Try making a second one, more based on the second movie :)

I kinda want to combine my love for Sonic and my interest in true crime together in a story, but not sure how to keep that PG and lighthearted XD
TheSonicBase
@Slepyhedgehog Let me know when you finish the chapter. Mine is a problem in and of itself.
Slepyhedgehog
@TheSonicBase I’ll have to workshop the idea for a while. Until then I’ve come up with a different idea I think could work for a longer story. I don’t want to say too much now..in case I cancel it lol. It’s not a true crime either. But if all goes well, I can see about posting the first chapter soon! I actually created an outline for this one!

@Slepyhedgehog Maybe it's a trip of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles going to a cave, but the entrance collapsed, and the exit leads to a harsh rapid that would wash them away?

I have my own version of sonic canon in my head when I write my Fics. It’s really a bizarre mix of varying concepts like the old sonic manga, movies, and whatever idea pops into my head at 3am, among other things.
TheSonicBase
@Slepyhedgehog In my opinion, a headcanon of a series is a smart idea. It allows you to have more freedom with your ideas.

I really have a hard time with writing long stories. I think that’s going to be my next challenge for myself.
TheSonicBase
@Slepyhedgehog You're good. Feel free to ask me for help if you are stuck on something. Also, don't overwork yourself making more than 2 at the same time. It'll burn you out and could confuse you.

Thank you for sharing tips! :’D I’m so inexperienced with writing anything longer than a couple thousand words. I’m going to try this method in the future!
TheSonicBase
@Slepyhedgehog That's understandable. One tip I will give you is build a beginning and an end first, and then make steps on how it will proceed in between to make chapters make sense. Another thing is to come up with a progressive story. What I mean by that is to make a story that can last a long time.

Writers block is frustrating
