torn. confused. sleepy. toink.

im torn between continuing my fic, whispered lies, and simply adapting a romance book.

actually, i initially wanted to adapt a romance book or novel just so i can experience posting stories although i immediately chickened out coz i was afraid of accusations of plagiarism. so i thought of writing my own story. thus, whispered lies was born.

i started writing whispered lies to challenge myself if i can do it, y'know, write a story. but i guess i was too impulsive about it, writing with only the beginning and end in my head -- it was actually supposed to be a one-shot thingie. that first chapter got me hooked so i went ahead and continued the story.

i'm actually regretting it now. why? coz im planning on starting a one-shot collection thingie (coz i at writing forewords and description so a one-shot collection will save me from the humiliation). but i can't continue on that plan coz all the storylines that my brain is producing are all chaptered stories. i dont even know if i should shout out of frustration or just slink down to the floor and sob myself to oblivion.

i actually dont have time for hobbies. i used to have very little to do at work so i had time to update on whispered lies. but now, i dont have the motivation nor the inspiration to go on. *sigh* im stuck on chapter 7. i wanna finish it, i do. i really do. but please forgive me if i havent posted the next chappie coz im having a hard time putting the stories in my head into actual words written on paper, er, rather actual words typed out on a virtual paper.

sheesh. im such a wimp. il just go and drown myself in coffee.

Is it okay for me to comment? Hehe

Well i hope you find some time to get back on tracks with your fic. I too had that moments when it comes to writing. I actually never liked writing before maybe because of school kind of writing but after stumbling on fics i started to love writing. i mean you can write freely whatever you want. and it's all about you and your style.

I, myself, debated first whether to upload my stories here and once i upload my Payphone oneshot things or ideas started popping my head where i can't hold it anymore and got inspired to write more and more. And then getting people to read and comment makes it even inspiring to write.

Just don't worry about people who will read it or not as long as you enjoy what you do. I know somewhere out there, there are silent readers who's reading your work. I bet they enjoy your writing too like i do! *guilty silent reader neh?!*

And i also know what it feels like to be 'stuck' i came across that from my stories. i literally wanted to pull my hair in frustration. If you have oneshots in mind do write them! I know they'll be good!

I also regret some things here like posting five different stories at the same time lol. but then again i love challenging myself and so i try my best. But i knew one thing that i'll regret the most is, IF i didn't share my stories especially with Applers! They're the number 1 fans we got as writers here.

If you're ever stuck in your story, just make a rough outline. Making outlines had helped me so much in bringing my ideas back! What do i really want my reader to read and understand that kind of outline. and once you get back on your ideas you'll be writing nonstop! And it's okay to ask reader too what they want to read maybe that'll help you find some ideas back.

Don't worry i don't have much hobby either aside from writing. (^_^) It's my stress getaway to be honest. Just don't give up authornim! Somehow you'll pass the writer's block! Have some strength! Fighting!
