I Was So Stuck On Writing, For Like A Month, And I Got Sick And Work Was A Lot And Then I Get Some Free

I was so stuck on writing, for like a month, and I got sick and work was a lot and then I get some free time and to do silly things and decompress and boom.

I can write things.

I can totally write that exchange fic I needed to write and work on chapter and all of sudden, it's good again. I feel like a person again.

Because I stopped enduring and started thriving.

There’s something always so intimate about writing.

You can be writing about fantastical worlds or eldritch creatures. About impossible timelines or mundane situations.

But somewhere in the middle of all that, there’s the nickname a loved one gave you, now spoken as an afterthought by a character you wrote.

Or there’s that unusual anecdote you never tell at parties because there’s never the right time, but now it’s told during a family gathering in your story.

Or that feeling you can’t get out of your chest in your most vulnerable moments, finding a cathartic outlet during an important plot point.

Or the quote you loved, the movie that marked a special moment in your life, the experiences and adventures no one but you have felt in that way.

And that’s why, even if you write the same thing as everyone else, using the same characters or situations, no one will ever sound like you.

Your voice as a writer is unique, blessed with your insight, plagued by your demons, the voice loud with your tone and spice.

Because writing and any form of art and self expression will always be one of the most intimate outlets we have.

It’s actually very normal for writers to want recognition for their work. It’s okay to wish for it.

It is also important to remember that your worth can’t be measured by the amount of comments or kudos you receive, but you’re not wrong for wanting people to interact with your work.

Writing prompt? No. Writing much delayed.

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has trouble remembering developmental milestones. I put these together, but can’t take credit for any of the photography. Hope someone finds them helpful!
