Half the time I don't even know how I do what I seem to do so well. I try not to think too hard on it, for fear of breaking myself in the process.

    I have an idea, and I need some feedback because this might be a big one

    It goes without saying, I'm not the fastest writer around these parts. Not anymore at least. Anymore it takes time to get an idea figured out, written down, and refined to the point I want to release it for being read. But this doesn't lend itself well to getting the chapters and updates churned out. And unfortunately it leaves you with more ideas being backlogged than you want to admit. It

    Small update

    Ever since the last chapter I've been stumped on what to do with the next chapter.

    I'm happy to report that I'm 1.3K words into the next chapter, so things are slowly but surely getting done.

    Not dead

    Neither I nor the story are dead as of the time of this posting.

    Turns out writing Ulquiorra from the outside perspective of uninitiated ponies is a lot harder than I thought it'd be, and I'm having to spend a lot more time in the brainstorming stage than I'm accustomed to.

    Why?

    Why is it so damn hard to write at times?

    Why does the prospect of sitting down to type up an idea and give it physical form, seem to just suck the life and enthusiasm right out of you?

    A thought

    The current chapters for HIE are proving to be a lot harder to write than I thought. Even harder when you've got distracted thoughts flaunting themselves at you.

Alright, seriously, WTF? · 12:38am Jun 26th, 2017

Does anyone else get anxiety attacks when they're writing, or am I simply going about it all wrong?

It's not even just HiE that's causing it, it's my writing in general. Although if I had to narrow it down, it seems to happen most frequently when I'm trying to write for Shady, and I have no idea why that is. Why am I bordering on panic when I'm writing a fun character?

I get those sometimes whenever I'm plagued with Writer's Block while looking at an incomplete file.

Of course, this is more prevalent when I do English papers.

It could be that your subconsciously afraid of what people will think of your work or that they won't like it. Or it could be you thinking it's not good enough to the point of near having panic attacks/anxiety. Just my guess, could be way off but it's something at least, unlike the other comments at the time of posting this.

I believe that having some anxiety when writing is a sign you care about what you are doing, and wanting to do it well. At least that's what I've experienced when writing essays that were due the same day they were assigned.

Err, I'm no writer, but do have anything that helps you relax and laugh a bit?

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. If it's causing you too much harm, I'd suggest seeking a professional.

Otherwise, I'd focus on your environment or journaling to see if you can figure out what might be causing it. Good luck.
