Soooo... It's been 3 years... Just thought I'd update you on where I am, what I'm planning, where this account is going.
I'm now 19 years old, going on 20 now. I'm in university, I study Psychology with Criminology in Nottingham. Currently going into my second year now (halfway through). I've always been on and off with my writing. especially when I've been away for a long time, I always come back and read my stuff and to me, it all sucks pretty bad. It's always been something I love to do since I was very little but now I'm older, I don't see it as a hobby anymore, I see it more of a chore. It also doesn't help that I'm a raging perfectionist, so if I really don't like what I'm writing i won't post it, or I'll give it up completely and start something new. You can clearly see this from my works on my account - absolutely none of them are finished.
Corona has swooped in and forced me to be alone with myself and then that usually happens, I take comfort in writing. I have been writing on and off through these few years but I just haven't posted anything. I've honestly been reading more than I have been writing and somehow I see that as a good thing. I always think that reading a lot can improve your own storytelling and writing style and that what I want to focus on. I've just never felt happy with the way I write, but I have all these ideas and stories I want to tell but I have no idea how I want to tell them.
It's easy to open an empty word document and start writing, but it's so much harder to keep going and going because, in actual fact, I like blank pages - there's more possibility. The more I write the more restrained I feel so start fresh. It's a tough cycle and I'm sure others can sympathize with me. This account right now, I want to look at it as something free and fun again. So, I am writing, just maybe not as much or not to the volume I used to. I might start a new project on here just for works that pop in my head. Thanks for understanding guys!
