Trying to reboot my writing

by

Spent a chunk of the weekend just struggling a little bit with writing. I have ideas. I have ideas I like. But ugh, getting things to words has just sucked a little lately.

I need to really spend some time reading again, and in some ways, slowing down and being more thoughtful of my writing. I feel like I lost a ton of ability being in such a bad mental space the last 10 years, and trying to shake off the rust again.

All I can do is wish you luck.

My method: start a story. If I can't finish it, I start another. Repeat until I get one I can finish.

Might not work for you, but...

What I've been doing. Have a small pile of things in various states. Just feels like it used to be a lot easier, but just gotta keep trying <3

I wish you luck on getting back to writing.

My method of writing stories involves creating a summary of the beginning, middle, and end. Doesn't have to be long; three or four sentences for each part. Then write the characters out to see how they will fit in the story. Most of the time, it works, but sometimes it can be hard and doesn't. Then I scrap the story. But everyone has their own way of writing.

:) I look forward to seeing what you write in the future. I always liked your stories. ^^
