Should I give up writing? And forces on a real dream
Matt_Fantasy
@TheSilentSin also, it's not a competition either. I know, at least in myself, when I've had those same thoughts, it was because I was comparing myself to the success of others. However, the most important thing about writing is that you have *fun* doing it. I know it's hard, I know it can feel impossible a lot of times, but I also want to you to know, I think you're amazing just the way you are. :D

@TheSilentSin well, the answer to that question is in yourself. Why do you ask that question? What defines "a real dream" to you? At the very least, I'd say writing, or any hobby or interest that requires skill to do, can all be a "real dream". It's really up to you if that's what it means to you. Even if it isn't the dream you hoped for, do you still find enjoyment in it? I think, in truth, what defines a real dream is simply succeeding in things you enjoy, and success, just as anything, is something you have to see in yourself and what you do. The label only holds as much meaning as you're willing to give it. I will leave you with this: writing is art. It is a way to express yourself in ways few other mediums can. If this is something you desire, to express, than I encourage it, at the pace you are comfortable with. :)

Don't know why but I'm still under the stupid writers block and it's been a year.

@TheSilentSin the most popular book on Wattpad is a fanfic romance involving Harry Styles, called "After". Wattpad is somewhat notorious for being the website/app for fanfictions, for better or worse, from Twilight to Lord of the Rings to MyHeroAcademia. So long as you clarify it is a fanfiction and don't claim copywrite over the source material (though you can claim copywrite over any original additions), then you're good.

@TheSilentSin this is true. There's nothing wrong with that per say. If that's what helps, do it. That said, for me, I went ahead and started writing future individual chapter scenes, a 14k word character list for character backstories, or create alternative stories in my lore, to inspire me. It helps indirectly by expanding the lore, your characters, and book simultaneously but doesn't require writing the section you really don't want to.

How can a pastor (someone who supports being nice to everyone) tell me to stop chasing my writing dream?! Who the fluff thinks he is?! I have been working on this dream since elementary school and I'm not stopping it

@MissLycaon_Light pastors are evil. And god is a false god. He does nothing but take and barely give out blessing. He could possibly not exist because a allseeing and allknowing god could ten plauge hamas and iraq. But no he lets terrorists get away with their ideology and terror attacks as they hide like parasites in civilian populations...because they are cowards. I pray to whatever pantheon exists to save Israeli and civilian lives

@Raven_paw123 I agree with you, I told two other people my writing ideas. They said I should do "their religion" since I was born into
