I am lately a little depressed, and in *daze* about the fact that this book is approaching 50 chapters, and yet I see the end far, far away in view. A *Week* to Coronation it is called, and somehow, SOMEHOW, I've written one week's incidents over the course of nearly FIFTY CHAPTERS.
Should I be concerned? This is wildness.
And we're not even done yet ToT
There's a book two. Totally excited about that, but in the couple of years that I've spent here, I've noticed that book twos are generally several chapters longer than book one.
What should I do....

@Ramayana_lover Girl thank you so, so much. Honestly though, this conversation did significantly clear up my mind. I'm just so thankful for the fact that you, and everyone else here in this community has always been so, so understanding of everything. It's quite a blessing. Totally get what you mean by changing the environment in my mind, like finding a place filled with fresh vibrations for a change. And I have been working a little bit on that, so let's see. Sometimes reading others' works on here helps me, but at this point, I'm just so fried by Wattpad's interface that I cannot even read right. Anyways, I just need a real, properly done break at this point, from what I'm seeing. Not too long, but I need some time to rearrange my thoughts. And I will begin working on that, hopefully today itself (it's 3 am idk what I'm saying t-t) Once again, thank you so much for everything. I probably knew most of what you said here, but coming from you it felt like a much more valid reminder of things. Moreover, just the talking factor was quite refreshing. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

@TheLadyAesthetic But at some point it does get too heavy to keep writing if you don't have your heart in it at the moment. I'm just glad you've gone through AWTC with greater focus on your wish to write and how you're feeling through it all too, because forcing yourself to do something you otherwise enjoy is just kinda pointless in the long run. The serious blocks are always so hard to get through. I completely understand. And as you said, maybe going off Wattpad itself could help, I'm not sure. On some occasions it has helped me. On other occasions, being on the platform and engaging with others and reading other works has helped me find the spark again. But I will say, while a month can feel like a really long block, it's really not that bad especially since you've been consistently updating over the past year. Almost 50 chapters and a year. It's only a little less frequent than weekly updates and that for an entire year is incredibly commendable. Your mind probably needs the rest/the break. Maybe a change of environment (in the mind, idk how to explain that). But don't be too hard on yourself. The pressure will make it harder to feel like writing. And I know it's easier said than done, but maybe some relaxation for your mind will bring it back for you. And in the meantime if you need to vent about this or anything else you absolutely should because I'm sure it clears your head bit by bit. I'm here to listen if you need it <3
