I thought writing a fic was hard...but wouldn't you hear me out first?

I used to think writing a story was hard, but now that I started writing my own story, whoa, hard is DEFINITELY an understatement! _"_

It took me years to find the guts to start writing a story of my own.

And now it takes me weeks to give myself enough inspiration and enthusiasm to update the story,

because it usally takes me a friggin' whole day to just finish one chapter.

I actually have these plots planned out, but I just hate writing them down along with the stupid detailed descriptions of each scenarios.

IT'S TIRING HAVING TO THINK UP ALL OF THOSE! I'm never good at description to begin with.... ㅠ_ㅠ no, the better words choice is I absolutely at it.

 

Now, has anyone felt the same way?

 

Once again, I just can't help admiring those whose stories I've read and subscribed because I can never be able to write as good a story as theirs. I'm still trying, anyway, for perfection is no longer one of my ultimate goals. I just feel the needs to have my voice heard and to get my feelings across through my stories. With only that, I'll be a little happier, I guess.

Absolutely well said....couldnt agree with u more coz i've been through that!
And tbh i am nowhere close to writing a fic as good as already well established fanfic authors though i strive hard to be as good as them....
its good to dream but its the effort that counts...

I feel you ;A;

Sometimes I spend 3 days just to finish the background of the story, you know, the details and stuff. And it's kinda disheartening when I get a comment like 'I found this chapter boring because no otp moment'. These kind of comments make me want to curl up into a ball, and there goes my muse and will to update T.T

I totally feel u there
I may have been writing for over 20 years n it comes naturally to me when I need a form of expression, still, resolving to write a story and seeing it through to completion can be a stressful tearful business when your muse left you in the middle of a well-structured sentence.

Never aim for perfection, it will kill your muse even before you made it down the garden path. Learn to enjoy the process, it is what make going through the grind of writing worth the pain.

I understand you. My method of making writing easier and smoother is by training myself, so my suggestion is, make a point to write 500 words of anything everyday. Short story, chaptered fic, journal entry... whatever. As long as you write a little everyday, writing will become an easier task. As for making your writing better, or for getting to the point where you don't hate your own writing, it just comes with time and a lot of editing. I hope you find your muse :)
