Hi everyone, I'm making this post in hopes that some of your encouraging words can snap me back to what I love doing: writing stories. The past couple weeks have been a struggle for me. My motivation/desire to write just isn't there.
I have finished a couple stories the past few months and I was doing really good, but now I don't care. I have strong ideas, characters, and plots that excite me. I've tried a few different things to get going again but nothing helps. So then what if I give writing a break for now? And massive guilt sets in. I'm seeing people make it in this business. Its doable. I know its work and I look forward to all of that. But right now, I can't even turn on my laptop without groaning.
I just don't want to write. But I feel that I'm losing time. I really want to publish by my personal deadline. Its something I have wanted all my life and now that I'm close, its like pulling teeth to make myself give a care.
Has anyone had this problem? What have you done to get past the hump and keep writing? Thank you.
