Writer's block and updates

So I'm having intense writer's block right now for elements. It's such a struggle trying to get out a new chapter and I hate everything and all I want to do is to just delete right now. It would've been nice to have some encouragement, but all I have are rude messages begging me to update.

Not just with Elements, but with every other story. Even when I clearly state that there will be no sequel, all I get are demands for more more more.

It takes me weeks of careful planning to write one of these fics. Do you think it's easy to write 10k words? And it prob takes you guys half an hour to an hour, max, to read it. Instead of appreciating what you have, you all just want more.

If you have nothing nice to say, please don't say anything. Just leave me alone bc I'm so sick and tired of this. 😂🔫

I don't know when Elements will be updated. And at this point, I don't care anymore.

Hey, I’ve only read elements so far, but I can tell that you’re an amazing writer. But I’m not writing this to encourage you to continue elements, as much as I want to. I’m writing this to say it’s okay to stop elements for your own sake. Its okay to stop writing in general, if that’s what you want. It’s your own decision on whether or not you want to continue writing or not. Don’t feel pressured to give us something. As unique individuals, we will never fully understand what is going on in other’s minds. Just know that either way, you will have people that support you on your decision. hopefully you’ll at least give us a heads up, so we can move on, and just appreciate what you’ve already written.

I just sincerely hope u will still cont. the story Elements one day..cause its one of the few excellent ff ive ever read..Take ur time..find ur passion to write the things u want, when i say excellent i mean that u have a great amount of creativity in writing and planning the plot. Just like a great artist, even after years of not having new album released but once they did..people r gonna keep flooding them the attention..so the same goes to one good story like this. 😊

Even though I haven't read elements yet (HOWEVER I WILL DEFINITELY READ IT) I just want you to know that you are literally one of my favourite writers and I appreciate every single effort and time you put into your fanfics because they are soo beautifully written. Sure I always anticipate for your updates but I don't mind if you take months or even years to update because every single of your updates are always worth waiting for.

I'm sorry if i wrote a comment that offended you. Honestly, im a very picky reader and i wont read a story until the end if it didnt suit my preference. But your stories, i dont even know how to say it. It's just so amazing. I only read the foreword and im already hooked huhu. You're now in my list of favourite authors.

Im a writer myself. I understand your feeling. Having a writer block is . And with the additional pressure from the readers for us to update more and more, it can be very stressing. Gwaenchana chingu-ya~ You're not alone. You can always tell me if you want to (even we dont know each other but hey we can be friends right? ;)) *send virtual hugs*

Fighting!!! Im rooting for you, zeurin!

Don't worry about what anyone else has to say, just take your time and come back when you feel like you're ready! As a fellow writer, i understand how it feels to go through writers block; the longest one I've been through (which i still am going through) is four months.
You have my utmost respect and support so take all the time you need!

I'm sorry for all the trouble people have been giving you zeurin. You don't deserve it at all. You are a seriously one of the best writers on this site and none of us even deserve to read your work. None of us readers can imagine putting out your level of work because it is out of this world. You are amazing and never doubt it. There is no rush for you to do anything and you don't even have to do any of this. Your readers will take what they get. That's honestly all that we deserve. So don't feel pressure from anyone. Congratulations again on your story finally getting featured. You really deserve it!

Just wanted to say that I am truly grateful for what you've written so far, and will continue to support you whether you finish it or not.
Writer's block can be a , so I totally understand if you want to take a break from it, don't want you stressing out.
Hope you are well! xxx

You know how YG artists always have really delayed comebacks? That reminds me of some of your writing sometimes. But like how their albums always come out slowly, the end result is always magnificent. Another example that BTS fans might understand more is Suga's mixtape. I mean, it's dropping this August, and everyone has been excited over it for so long. Take your time thinking of your plots, thinking of the perfect words to create into writing. Even the people who continuously nag you to update— that's because they enjoy your stories, genuinely, though we might not know a way to say it, and end up upsetting or annoying the author. Be satisfied with yourself and know that you'll always have people out there who understand what you're going through and support your writing. Connect and reach out with other authors— that might help. Ask them what they did when they went through a slump in their writing career, and try to get through this phase. I guess I would understand if you'd like to quit on a story or stop writing altogether, and I absolutely hate to sound annoying or insensitive, but try to gain inspiration, persevere and don't give up. You really are very good at writing— I expect you know that from your other comments telling you that. Us readers will stick by you through this phase, no matter what. Believe it.




Hope you have a great day and feel better! :D

Hi! I just started reading your story, "Elements" about maybe a week ago and from the very first chapter I was hooked on your story. I love reading long, well written books, like the Eragon series. The first time I finished "The Inheritance Cycle" I sat for a while and thought about how incredible the author must be to have written such an amazing story, and especially at the age he wrote the first book (he was 18). Later on I went to his website and read a little bit about him and how the series came to be. I learned he's spent over a decade on this series, these four books alone and that they have almost literally been his life up to the point he finished the last book in the series and me like many other fans want more. I am not a writer myself(mostly because I'm shy) but I really do enjoy reading stories. I really can't describe that feeling of finding a really good story and just the curiosity that comes with it, wanting to find out what will happen next or what the fate of your favorite character would be. I fell in love with you story "Elements" much the same way I fell in love with "The Inheritance Cycle". So after I found this post, seeking the status of a newfound favorite ad enter story, my heart dropped when I saw that you had only received hatred and demands for more of this story. I'm not very good with my own words and I'm really shy but I saw this and honestly I just want to help in any way I can. I might not be able to give you any advice worth your while but I listen well and it really bugs me that someone with such a great mind is being treated this way. I know we don't know each other but I sincerely would like to help you if I could. Please let me know if ever need someone to talk to. I will support you on whatever you decide to do with "Elements" or otherwise. Try not to stress over the demands of the people who don't understand and appreciate! Don't let the haters drag you mood down! I hope you have a good day! :)

Your works are amazing and I know the wait is worth it for your comeback. Me along the others who support you will wait patiently for you to get yourself together, and we encourage you to not let go of your passion for writing. We all have our breaking points and for that we can sympathize, so take your time to recover from your writer's block. I do suggest to refrain from entertaining some selfish comments like the ones you have mentioned. Although perhaps that would be difficult since you might be bombarded with them in every update you have, but at least disregard them because they can come off as toxic to you. Always be mindful that even though there are a lot of immature people present there is always that existing group of people who support your work and appreciates the time and effort you put in writing. With what you wrote in your blog, I can tell that you might be feeling apathy which is totally understandable, so take your time once again. I really like your works so keep in touch, my friend. Fighting~
