^^ Dont Take This As 100% True Or Take It As A Time Limit Or Anything Its Just How Long People Would

^^ dont take this as 100% true or take it as a time limit or anything its just how long people would take to write a book

most published authors would actually take their time to write, i'd assume. theres more to writing than just writing out words.

don't forget that writing at your own pace is normal and if you force yourself to write you'll feel burnt out, which is what you are probably feeling right now you'll feel like you do want to write, but you just can't bring yourself to for no reason at all, and it feels so wrong to just stare at what you've already written and add nothing to it, am i right? its also completely normal to get random bursts of inspiration i'm going to be honest, thats completely the reason why I've only written short oneshots and have been avoiding long projects

i think motivation is a key feature, and its not your fault i think you should take a break from thinking about it too much, it'll only bring you more stress

dont take this to heart but if you feel like its right for you please listen to my advice

Does anyone else experience this?

I know what happens in this chapter. It’s all in my head. I have an outline. I just need to write it out. But it’s been weeks since I’ve written a single word.

I started this project out strong. I wrote an average of 2-3k words a day over the course of 9 days. I ended up writing a total of 15k words. But now I have to fill in the blanks in between the initial scenes I was so passionately writing. So I’ve lost all that motivation and inspiration that initially kept me going.

I don’t understand why I’m like this. It’s infuriating.

real asf me to myself as well LOL (coping) you really do deserve better though it might not work but try putting yourself in third person and imagine yourself as someone else its ok to be self-critical but if you cuss yourself out over something you'd comfort someone else over maybe you shouldnt be that self-critical (hypocrisy!!!) also since when did you almost fail and if you did why didnt u tell me :sob:

me to people online: rest and take ur time, don’t burn yourself out <3

me to my friends: it’s ok, one fail is not the end of the world <3

me to this one specific person secret third thing friends-lovers thing: you’re amazing and deserve better <3

me to myself:

“work your ass off until you win. until you’ve surpassed all of them. tired? HA! the others are getting ahead. keep working, dumb bitch.”

“do you see how close that grade is to failing? you passed? wow, how cool! it’s still really fucking far from perfect.”

“you’re absolutely horrible to everyone. they’re just sticking around. they never loved you. you don’t deserve all this. get better and you might. emphasis on might.”
