Ugh i know. And itā€™s so annoying because I do have ideas and I can see them in my head. But when Iā€™m like ā€œhey ok letā€™s write. letā€™s do it.ā€ everything in my body is like 'NOOOOOOOOOO. hehe. no."

XD ikr!! I find putting things down the hardest part for me since the execution/wording is something thatā€™s just super detrimental. For me personally, I always have that urge to reread everything, to feel the flow, but then I get caught up in the endless void of ā€œdoes this make sense? The spellingā€™s wrong. What if the reader doesnā€™t know whoā€™s talking? this sounds funnyā€¦but if I use this blah blah blah blah blah, what am I doing-ā€ and then get totally derailed from wherever I was.

I feel that!! Especially since Iā€™m trying to write after a lonnnnng break (specifically, rewriting a story), I can see where my writing isnā€™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 ā€œoh god thereā€™s no detailā€ or ā€œthat sounds weird maybe it should be like this instead!ā€ 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 ā€œItā€™ll be better if I come back a loooong time later so that my headā€™s clearā€ 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-

Honestly i hear that term all the time and donā€™t know what it means.

Pls elaborate and help me not feel so old

(me in rl XD) Sure!!

So itā€™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. Itā€™s like a competition so whoever writes the most wins. Thereā€™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)

:joy:

Ahhh, usually people report back onto the thread saying they wrote ____ words and occasionally (if they feel comfortable) theyā€™ll share what they wrote (you can also do that too, if youā€™d like :wink:)

when I say I have commitment issues Iā€™m not playing lmaoooo. maybe thatā€™s why all my characterā€™s have the same problem hahaha

when sprints were first introduced I was thinking Iā€™d be a great way for me to get some writing done (saying Iā€™ll do one later). But up till now, I still havenā€™t participated in even one :sweat_smile:
