yes ( i also need writing advice )

yeah. i'm still alive, believe it or not.
i might use this account to do some writing, although i've been long gone to another account, for more.. personal reasons ? let's say someone hates me for stuff i have done on a roleplay ( that literally had nothing to do with them ?? ) and i couldn't live with myself for a while so i just went missing yadda yadda this isn't a sob story spot.

but yes.

i'm as much of a slow writer as i've ever been so don't expect quantities of words cause i don't even know if i can write more than 2 paragraphs before giving up. let's say i need to pass some tests for ADD and ADHD pretty soon. teachers have been telling me I should.

any advice on staying focused while writing ? like. i know how to write, i'm doing it right now, i just can't stay focused on it really well. i used to have a nice writing spot, i just don't really have access to it anymore.

I never write a full chapter in one sit. Like ... that's impossible for me. I write about 5-15 min and then close word and do something like listen to music, stretch, whatever. The main point is to forget what you're doing when you're having breaks. So doing breaks is the key (at least for me) I use this same system when I'm studying (although I usually read / study for 30 min, but not longer). The most important thing is to get to know YOURSELF - what works for you, what's best for you, how long u can write before u're tired. And yeah, writing when you're tired is same as doing nothing so I wouldn't recommend that.
Have a great day darling <3 !

Hi I personally use my headphones with music playing, lol. It keeps me unfocused on my noisy environment, and focused on my writing :)

hey!! i have adhd, and the best advice i can give you to focus is to not have too many tabs/stuff open on your pc and not have too many stuff around you irl. it really helps to clean your mind and bring you momentary "peace". also, make sure you don't force yourself too much. giving yourself a little push is okay, but forcing yourself isn't good for focusing, because you'll just end up thinking about how you don't want to be doing what you're doing. have fun!!
