The title says it all. Writing, especially trying to stick to a schedule, and style, can be hard to some people. There are some days where I find myself stuck in front of the computer knowing what I need to write, but not having the energy to do it.

So I thought it would be fun to create somewhere to vent or something on here haha. Do you also struggle with writing sometimes? If so what are some things you do to get over it. Or maybe you just want to let your frustrations out here. Let's all be civil.

Music & daydreaming. The moment I imagine the story I am writing in my head and daydream about it, I am back in business.

Plus I write in batches. Do 400-600 wordish batches, pause, maybe look up some news, browse the net for 5 minutes and get back into it, do another batch. Before I notice, the chapter is done.

If I'm stuck, it's either I take a break and read, or force something out, then rest. A few weeks later, when I return to the passages I wrote, most of the time, it solved my problems in writing whenever I was stuck.

yeah, sometimes its just so hard to get into the writing mindset.

Like I have the motivation to write but there is some other ingredient that I need to write a decent amount of anything which I missing when I need it the most. Its so painful being able to write a dozen chapters one week, to be only able to write 1 over five. Like I know what I want to write, it is just not being typed up.

I have managed to find a really unhealthy way to write if I desperately want a chapter done. By working on it late at night and not stopping until it is done. Now this is very bad, cause the obvious reasons but it has mostly worked, even if I hate doing it.

Procrastination. Once I'm in the right mood, though, I'm a freakin' beast. If I'm in the right mood, that is...

For the past 6 years of my life, I've been writing nonstop (mostly dnd campaign lore). It's hard in the beginning but you get used to it.

Once you got through the beginning phase, you will start to enjoy it.
