The Biggest Piece Of Advice I Can Give To Writers Like Myself Who Struggle With Losing Motivation Partway

The biggest piece of advice I can give to writers like myself who struggle with losing motivation partway through a WIP, or not knowing how to start it off, is to write it for yourself.

I think many of us tend to subconsciously worry that what may be a good concept to us, may not be that good of a concept to our followers, or that the way we present said story won't be good enough.

So, to combat that, I've been writing all my stories as if I'm the only one who's ever going to read them, and It's helped immensely when it comes to reminding myself that writing should be fun! It shouldn't be a chore, or something you do because you feel like you have to. You shouldn't be obsessing on other people's opinions on your story, something that you've written because you enjoy doing it, even though I know so many of us do.

I think that's an important thing to remember.

create! create! even if it’s been a while. even if you don’t know what to write or draw or sing. connect with what once brought you joy and you will remember how. create in a new way, knit or dance or crochet. try spoken word or painting. poetry or pottery. the freedom in creating… it’s liberating

So someone was having fun at Bandai…
