writer’s block

Writer’s block . They really do. 

It how the one thing that kept me happy during a stressful period of my life is now the one thing that is causing me so much stress...

Now I look at my notes and I can’t even bring myself to write a word, when words used to flow out so naturally just days ago. There’s just so many ideas clogging up my mind that my brain just decides to shut down and escape sighs 

It doesn’t help how I realise some mistakes in writing and areas of improvement when I reread old chapters. I feel like rewriting them and it just adds additional stress and work to my already overwhelmed brain. 

I know it seems like I may be like over-reacting over one small writer’s block, but it is exactly this stupid problem that has caused me to pause writing for a year, put all my old, uncompleted stories in draft mode because I really can’t bring myself to write another word. 

Planning has been a mess recently because I somehow strayed from my initial planned story line in the past 2 chapters. It doesn’t help that work drains me of my energy and often leaves me with no mood to write nor plan at night.

But I really don’t want to give up on my current story “Date Me” since it’s something I do enjoy writing a lot and I want to see it through the end. So, I’m gonna start improving the situation by doing the tedious work called planning that I’ve been procrastinating. Yay for holidays for finally giving me more free time :) 

Okay, I feel much better writing everything out now haha. I’m still gonna post it here, hoping someone out there who can relate this will know you are not alone! Lets all get through it together :”) Let me know if you need someone to talk to or if you have any advice to offer a poor soul, please do it too!

I know that feel
Had a block for almost two years

Suddenly one day I felt like making an old one shot into a fic. That felt easy as I already had the basic structure, and somehow that worked.
