I have a simple theory, writing on a small device like a phone will naturally lead to writing shorter stories.  It might even be accidentally training you to write less overall. But writing on a larger screen like a laptop or desktop will naturally lead to longer stories, since it's natural to try to fill the blank screen with words. But does that mean that writing on a large screen is more likely to create writer's block? Is it also more overwhelming? Personally, I find it more satisfying to type out a story on a computer compared to a phone.

Hardest part of writting anything is getting past the first few sentences. Doesn't help that the critical editing part of my brain likes to get involved early in the process and slow me down. 
          
          It's like trying to get a rock rolling. You need a real good push to get it started!

Is there anything scarier as a fanfic writer than to look back on the last updates you posted on a story, and to realize it’s been over a year? 
          
          Time is a funny thing I tell ya?
          
          I hope I finish some of the stories I started ages ago. I don’t expect folks to stick around for an update for over a year on a story that was pretty simple to begin with. But for my own self confidence, it would be nice to complete something. 
          
          I tend to have a habit of starting stories that I obsess over in the moment then neglect for months on end, assuming I ever return to them. I’ve done this for years now. 
          
          Sometimes I start to read my own stories, and get a bit emotional, because they were never finished. :’)  But also, since they’re my stories, I wonder if they’ll be on a permanent cliff-hanger because of my tendencies of not completing projects. 
          
          I used to dream of being a writer. Still sorta do. But I’d have to learn to commit to and finish my ideas first.

Woah, long time no updates huh. I didn’t mean to disappear for so long.

          Anyhow…I’ve been thinking of renaming some of my stories. I really hate some of the titles I’ve chosen so far. And I cringe whenever I’m reminded of those particular stories. But I am still bad at making titles, so I’ve been having a hard time. 
          
          This is actually really bugging me.

Realizing now…the reason I can’t hardly write anymore is because my job leaves me so exhausted each week that I don’t have the mental energy to write anything. It’s so depressing. :,( Seriously. I’ve barely read anything in a very long while. I’m just too tired most days. All I do is bookmark cool stories, and then never get to them.

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.

The Sonic movie hype is so strong, I haven’t written anything in days XD

Slepyhedgehog

@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

@Slepyhedgehog Let me know when you finish the chapter. Mine is a problem in and of itself.

@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?
