Stress write

[Businesssn]

Ive notice when I write my (stress/boredom/some other emotion) disappears or gets relived

 

[Legi0n]

Good for you I suppose?

 

[LimitBound]

Then keep writing.

 

[Businesssn]

Ok, ok, I wrote it wrong. I was asking does anyone get the feeling of calm when you write

 

[RepresentingCaution]

Unfortunately, I find the opposite. Writing is enjoyable, but the way I relieve stress is to get the things I need to do (cooking, cleaning, husband, email) done. When I have too many things to do, I write them down on a list and cross them off when they are done. Every time I cross something off the list, I feel a little rush of stress relief.

It depends on the mood but there are times when one is willing to type out of a sudden surge of feels instead

I usually write deep into the night with rain sounds; it's kinda relaxing but I end sleepy soooo... I don't really know.
Plus, I can't write if I'm anxious or have compelling things to do. I have to start writing while relaxed and that helps maintain the state, yes.

Writing in the night somehow adds to the calmnes, i dunno why

It's different for me.

You see, contrary to popular belief, writing is fucking stressful. It's different than being a reader, because as a reader, you don't know what's in store for you, and you can only predict the direction it's about to take. AS A WRITER THOUGH, you already know what's about to happen. You know exactly how the story's gonna go. And you KNOW how it'll read at its best, but the risk of fucking it up still lingers over you.

Your readers don't know it. They're reading the product you put out, but they don't see that better version of the product that could've been if everything went your way.

To me, the best part of the writing isn't engaging in the stress-free activity that it's often claimed to be. The best part is seeing the feedback of your readers, enjoying your creation as they willingly catch up chapter after chapter. It's not a release of stress but a release of serotonin, and it far eclipses the pain you go through to construct your stuff.

I always say this: people don't enjoy writing, they enjoy having it written. To me, the latter is what makes the former worth it. That is why I write anyway; to put my imagination into reality and to reap that next sweet, sweet seed that I've spent weeks sowing.

I find writing stressful. Thinking about the scenes, the arrangement of scenes, covering the inconsistencies that would come out once I wrote down the vomit draft, fixing the entire manuscript in accordance to the story goals, editing grammar and spelling mistakes, etc.

But well, it's the kind of stress I'm willing to suffer because of my overall goals to 'tell a story'.

Writing is stressful, but once I finished my manuscript, it's the feeling of accomplishment that takes over the headaches. It's what makes it 'worth it'.

I'm stressed if don't write at least one thousand words per day. If I didn't reach my quota, I sighed, many times.

Yes. It feels satisfying when you have finished writing a piece. And finishing something makes you feel more motivated. Sometimes doing creative stuff helps you relax more and think about how to tackle the other stressful stuff more.

I know what you mean, I do feel really relaxed while I write, is like giving all those ideas in my head a way out, and it's actually quite fun and really great stress relief for me. I started it as a sort of therapy, but I found out it was quite good to me, of course, this may change in the future, but for the moments. Writing has become the way out for all my problems.

^ what I said but better conveyed.

It varies for all.... for example, I don't because I start to think of the next chap while writing one chap....
