I am terrible at writing · 1:12am Jul 14th, 2015
Sooooo... been awhile since I've had anything for you lovely people who are inexplicably kind to my hack ass.
Essentially the problem is that I while I am still writing I can't seem to finish anything these days. Most of the time I get in the zone, work for a good few hours hammering out a thousand or so words and then... things just dry up for me.
Usually I have to stop writing for a bit due to work, or due to being too exhausted from work so I go a few days between writing sessions and then when I come back to something I've been working on my reaction is always "who fuck wrote this goddamn garbage?!" and then I get depressed and accomplish nothing.
So anyways, that's why I haven't done anything recently. Because I am terrible.

I know the feeling of getting things done and then doing nothing for a while. Bothers me to hell too. Especially since i've been working on rewrites and junk. Doesn't help that my summer has been jam packed with family fun vacations and stuff with short breaks in between. I usually have to use those breaks to catch up on tumblr and other sites, thus cutting in on my writing. Oh and trying to squeeze a few hours of gaming in bc i got some new stuff i wanted to try out.
What i'm saying is, it's tough but you have to keep sticking to it however you can. It'll get better eventually.
Your upload rate is better than mine, if it's any consolation :3
Don't be too hard on yourself, every writer goes through this. It's not something you should get depressed about. I hate the feeling of it, but I also felt so relieved when I got my fic done, however short it may be.
