I feel that!! Especially since I’m trying to write after a lonnnnng break (specifically, rewriting a story), I can see where my writing isn’t as good as before. Because before I was constantly writing so I was in more of a groove and now it just feels awkward. And then when I think like “oh god there’s no detail” or “that sounds weird maybe it should be like this instead!” and then I end up so frustrated I just stop lol.
LOLOL same xD
But then going back later is about the same, if not, even more frustrating than the first time. I was always dumb enough to fall for “It’ll be better if I come back a loooong time later so that my head’s clear” but in the end, I forget the actual plot so I have to reread everything, find the mistakes, think of a way to fix those mistakes without making even more mistakes, maintain/improve the quality it was at before, etc etc. It makes me a bit tired even thinking of everything-
ugh i know.
and yet, i still want to write. but don’t.
it’s a horrible cycle.
lol indeed x.x
maybe sprinting could help?
Honestly i hear that term all the time and don’t know what it means.
Pls elaborate and help me not feel so old
(me in rl XD) Sure!!
So it’s basically where a group of people (you and at least one other person) writes as much as they can within a set time frame. It’s like a competition so whoever writes the most wins. There’s a thread especially dedicated to sprints here ^^ The rules are also elaborated a little bit more there as well as additional details~
OOOH yes yes yes okay. I understand. Makes sense. Is there a way to track progress or if people actually did it?
(lol wow my commitment issues are really showing)
Ahhh, usually people report back onto the thread saying they wrote ____ words and occasionally (if they feel comfortable) they’ll share what they wrote (you can also do that too, if you’d like )
i feel like i’d say im participating and then just not.
when I say I have commitment issues I’m not playing lmaoooo. maybe that’s why all my character’s have the same problem hahaha
LOLOL XD the same things been happening w me-
when sprints were first introduced I was thinking I’d be a great way for me to get some writing done (saying I’ll do one later). But up till now, I still haven’t participated in even one
I do my best writing at night so maybe tonight will be my night.
… i say extremely hopefully.
I wish you luck in writing!! <3
well i just started jamming out to boys world
SO wish me luck. i will report back if anything ends up improving.
well. i wrote about 200 words and then my brain said “hey… do you know what would be really fun to do right now? go to bed 2-3 hours earlier than you normally do!!”
It happens, especially when stressed
Oh I know. I was just finally getting into a groove after not even opening my document for like a week and my body went “hehe nooooooo”
It helped that I had a cheerleader who was very supportive when i was doing two hundred to five hundred words a day this week. but i’ll probably be back to five hundred to a thousand words pretty soon per a day
omg congratsssss!!!
LOLOL our body sure knows perfect timing~
woah-
I have a strange pull to start learning drunk-dazed on the piano… imma do it
