@Someonmle  real

@KeeganHakeswill that’s why this app is slowly dying :(

@Someonmle it happens

@Someonmle Awh thank you! :) And I completely get you. You get motivation to write and then when you actually go to write it just disappears, and you’re like… “I can’t write anything, I can’t be arsed with this.” 
            
            And you’re just blank. When I’ve had that, sometimes I do just give up and call it a day… haha, sometimes it’s as simple as… if you can’t write, you just can’t write. And then try again another day. Other times I’ve tried writing other parts of the story that are further ahead. Melodramatic scenes and exciting stuff, things that I like writing, that’s different from maybe the tedious stuff like filler, so that way at least something is getting done. 
            
            And drafts are tough, because you feel like it has to be good. Every writer feels like that even if we deny it!! The easier said than done thing is don’t think, just write and don’t erase, and like it’s hard ,I hate all of my drafts. God it can take me like a week or longer to write one. And like 90% of the words get changed, added to or rearranged when I edit it. I think of it as fixing something that is broken! 
            
            There is no pressure to get anything done quickly, take your time. You don’t have to try and write every day and you don’t even need to write a lot of words at once, 100 words is better than 0. I know you know this but sometimes it’s a good reminder or reassurance to hear someone else say it :) 
            
            You got this, kick writer’s block’s ass!!! :) <3

@K-A-Y-V-A aww, thank you!! you're too kind <33 i loved reading your work, too, and i like your way of writing :)
            
            among those things you said, reading others' works helps me the most, however sometimes, especially now, my motivation to write leaves me the moment i begin to work on my draft just when i thought i felt inspired to write ToT
            
            and personally, writing drafts, rough or not, is pretty difficult because it takes time for me to get the right words. even when I'm desperate to get it done, my brain says "no thank you" :(
            
            writer's block is a pain in the ass :((

I feel you :( 
            
            Reading other books has helped me find motivation to get words down. Or a mood board or music. And also just forcing myself to write a really rough draft, and then editing it… because editing is super fun and something is better than nothing. Nothing can come out of nothing :) 
            
            You’re welcome to try those if you want. I hope you find something that works for you, I loved reading your work!
