Kind of exhausted?

[Ani_nerowriter]

Yeah despite the huge passion for my story, I been feeling a slight strain and while I don't have writer's block, I got the curse of lack of motivation where my body is like... "Nope, you did this enough for today." And I'm been wondering if the fact I written so much in such a little time is one of the factors on why I feel like this.

I swear writing long!fics and especially trying to keep a schedule is such a drag.

Try writing in intervals. If you write too much and overexert yourself, you lose motivation to write, nya.

For me its my ADHD kicking in.

I love my stories, but I need to change it up frequently, so I started several. I'll write a chapter or two for one, then switch to another.

I find this let's me think on how I want to progress my other story without focusing on it directly.

It also keeps my motivation up because I am not solely trying to move my MC through the story I've envisioned, but rather need to split my attention to multiple MCs.

It has its drawbacks, like trying to remember everything that is going on. (though one of my MCs has early onset Alzheimer's so if I forget something, then he can too)

PErsonally after I started feeling that way, I yeeted the concept of schedule out of the window. I write first and foremost for myself so I don't want to burn out. So sometimes I will publish few chapters a week, sometimes it takes me two weeks to write one. Iz life.

I know the feeling, I often find myself thinking of my story and plotlines I can explore, situations I can put my characters into. The whole process can be draining. I find it best to switch it up, jump to something else. I draw when I'm spent from writing or storyboarding, It can be refreshing to look at your work of art from a different angle. trying to draw a scene I imagined is a challenge and in the same breath helps me imagine more. It helps me find the words I was looking for while writing. Its weird like that. =P
