ARGH!!!! · 2:27am Nov 8th, 2013
Nothing feels right anymore! I tried typing chapter 10 of Inner Demons II, but with all the crap I'm dealing with I just feel like it's crap, I can't brign myself to write anything else, my life is a mess, and I just don't know what to do!
Sigh...
It's times like these that I wonder if I do have what it takes to be a writer...
I know it seems like I have moments like this every other month, but welcome to my life. The life of a chronically depressed writer...
It might be a LOOOOONG time before I recover from this one... sorry.

I don't think you're a horrible writer. I think you're a very good writer. You're just dealing with some writer's block is all. Happens to me at times. I find that taking a break and working on other projects helps alleviate it.
1490491 Problem 1: I have been taking a break for almost a month.
Problem 2: I can't bring myself to write anything, so I can't work on other projects.
1490495 My advice: Solution 1: Get someone to keep reminding you to get back to work until you finally start writing again.
Solution 2: See Solution 1.
Just kidding. What you should really do is take your time. You might get some inspiration from the last thing you'd expect to provide you with an idea.
I know that feel.
Take a mental vacation. Go on hiatus. It's alright, truly. Good work takes time and that will never change. I can only wish you well and also say that you are a very good writer and just simply dealing with some troubles right now. Just do not give up
There's nothing wrong with taking a break.
Take as long as you need.
Seriously.
Take ALL the time.
My read later list won't run dry anytime soon. Not to mention unread favorited story chapters.
Don't ever force yourself to write just to satisfy readers. Of you don't feel it, then wait until you are ready.
if your confidence and ideas are drying up, why don't you try some one-shots after taking a break? usually a week or so is enough to get the creative juices flowing again. and one-shots are an amazing way of trying out new ways of conveying your ideas to paper.
Step back from the computer and take a break. You deserve it. Writers experience stuff like this all the time--no, not even just writers. People have times where they struggle with many things. If you can't write right now, there's nothing you can do. Writer's block comes and goes at different rates and times, and it'll only go away by not stressing about it.
I, myself, am going through school, stressing about everything like failing my classes and I feel stupid and all that. I haven't written anything in two months for my own stories. I don't force myself to because it won't make me better. It'll only add onto all the pressure I have.
You're a brilliant writer, and I don't say that quite often. Writers of any kind need a rest, but writers who really dedicate to their own deserve a break that can last who knows how long? Just step away from the computer and figure out what you can do to fix any problem that can be fixed. If you can't fix it, let it rest. Either way, organize your thoughts so you can go through these problems and toss your stress off your shoulder.
Sapphire P.M me as soon as you get the chance
Well, I really hope it'll get better, actually... it will, I know it.
So, take that break, wait for the inspiration, it'll come, you and your stories are awesome enough for that to happen.
It's hard for me to understand how you feel, since I haven't felt like that for a looooooong time. I'm that kind of person that just tends to get over things without me even wanting that to happen. But yeh, relax, free your mind from this shit and do something else, actually... don't do anything, it helps.

Jeez, I suck at writing these kind of comments. I'm more like "OMFGHOLYSHITSOGOODEXPLOSIOOOOONS!!!"-guy rather than someone that tries to make sense.
"Oh, what fun is th-"
SHUT, THE FUCK, UP!
"But..."
*evil glare*
"..."
...
See?! I can't go serious, fuck sake.
Now, before my brains get overconfused again, I'll be leavin'. Love ya :3
...
Too soon? Okay. Bye!
...
:D
I don't even know anymore...
Edit:
Not really sure what kind of music you like so I'll just leave this here, k?
i know the feeling all too well, maybe a few days offline could help?
