I've been there. I wanted to write, but I feel rather empty in the inside, and ended up turning my laptop off. The hobby that I once cherished dissapeared just like that. I stopped writing fics for almost two years and even had the thought of quitting. I felt like as if I lost the ability to write. But just when I was about to quit, I asked myself "why quit when that's my passion?" I've been writing fics for a long time and to give up on it felt like giving up a piece of me.

So, I tried to find a way to motivate myself and guess what? Watching different genres of drama helps! If I disliked the ending of the drama, I tend to imagine a better ending. And the scene that I had in mind, I try to put it into my story just so I could make myself satisfy.

Besides that, I went to YouTube and searched for a random kpop songs with eng sub. Through the song, I tried to understand the meaning of it and created a scene in my head. By doing so, I somehow got motivated to write a story based on the song that I listened to.

To motivate myself more, I also tried to write down my feelings whenever I felt like it. I downloaded an app called 'LunaDiary' and yeah, wrote all of my feelings there. Ever heard the saying that goes "don't close the book when bad things happen, just turn the page and begin a new chapter"? When I re-read all of my emotions, it motivates me to move on and start a new chapter, which also motivate me to start a new story based on a glimpse of what I'm going through in life.

And doing all sorts of stuff, I found myself creating a new account in aff and put all of my recent stories in my new account. But of course I will still be using this account of mine to start a new story but the new account of mine is basically a collection of stories that I write whenever I got the 'feel' to write.

Okay, that just basically ALL of what I did to motivate myself to write. Oh and do try reading your stories all over again and put yourself in your reader's shoes, it helps!

Last but not least, english is not my first language so I apologize if there's any grammar mistakes. I'm still trying to improve my english just so I can write a better stories in the future, so yeah, do turn a blind eye if you see any grammar mistakes XD kidding, if you want to correct me, feel free to correct me.

I just hope that you'll find your passion back in writing since your blog itself filled with a well-written emotion of yours losing your motivation to write. And so, leaving this longggg comment here, all the best in getting yourself motivate in writing!

i think it's the lack of motivation and the inspiration. if you're really inspired and excited about your stories, you will want to finish it. i would suggest to take a break for now, put writing or your story aside. take a break and when the ideas come again, you will find yourself wanting to write again. another suggestion is that you can join forums and do writing "games" together
