090116 pt 1 When you want, but you can't

Hello!

 

I am back at a spot that I detest, but at the same time understand and don't want to push anywhere - a block of a sort. Ideas are swarming in my head and they are vivid enough; I have time to write, BUT the moment I try to put words on the paper they just seem awkward and forced and no near the standard I have set for myself. Yes, I could pop out updates for near everything that is ongoing and post new stories, but at the same I can't.

 

It's a bit hard to explain, but I will try. When I write I love the text to flow smoothly - the dialogues and descriptions to mold the plot and move it along naturally and not work as pushing and pulling mechanism to move the story line somewhere. That's why some stories I post after one take - no re-reading, no editing, just what I wrote in one go. Those I usually love the most. The second category are the one's I edit, re-read and usually write in few days rather than one sitting. Those are precious too. And there are the one's I usually put on the digital paper and dislike and end up deleting - starting completely fresh when my head is in the right place.

 

I could, of course, sit down and force the scenes out of me, but I know I wouldn't post them anyway. I can tell there is no point to even bother if I can't put the scenes well enough in my head. So I rather take a few day break instead of posting something low quality, low standard and not me.

This is the state of when you want, but you can't.

QUESTOION: If you write - do you have it? Do you fight it any way or you just let it pass on it's own? If you just read - can you tell when the writer hasn't been in the best shape when writing and update?

 

Have a nice winter weekend! Here's a pic from my hometown around 1200 m above the ground.

Well TBH it needs someone who has read all of your work more than once even to notice but it does seem different from one update to another though it doesn't necessarily mean that one is better than the other . Authors have moods and ups and downs and writer blocks sometimes but it's their inspiration and imagery skills that matters in all . It happens a lot with me.. Whatever I write without thinking and in one go without rereading appears to be the best but I still feel like reediting sometimes COZ "it doesn't blend much" . So don't dwell over it much, just write whatever you Imagine at the moment and put all your feelings into it , it'll surely come out fine <3
