I just cannot write · 4:06pm Aug 7th, 2016
So for some reason I had this grand delusion that my ADHD wouldn't apply to writing fanfiction but apparently it does. Ha. Go figure, right? Must've forgotten this little detail.
I've written probably a few thousand words in the past 24 hours, which sounds great, but thing is, it's scattered across four or five stories so it's not actually that much and I'm not getting much done. See, this is why I'm never able to finish an actual story.
Anyone wanna volunteer for the job of "Periodically yelling at Panda to get off of her lazy butt and write horsewords"?
The sad thing is, I'm actually pretty serious about that.
Hm. Well, whenever that happens to me, I read or play/watch a game or show that has similar qualities or plot structure I'm writing about. That way I can see what worked and how they put those elements together to make a coherent narrative. Hopefully this helps.
A few thousand more than I have.
Egads, no. It would be like homework. I'll leave that joy to somebody else.
Nice picture though.
4136964 Yeah, but that's not my issue. Like, I know where I want my stories to go and everything. I just can't make myself sit down and actually spend time on one story. I jump between stories every five minutes and then make a bunch of random blank stories as I get new ideas.
4136976 It took me more time to get the tablet drivers working than it did to actually draw the picture, haha.
I yell at you enough as it is
4137063 Nah, not nearly enough.
4137066 in my opinion its enough
4136977 Hm. I found an article that has 15 ways to help your focus
4137141 Already know those. I could try:
step 1) take my ADHD meds
But then I'd be a grump and I'd probably write a story about beheading people or something.
4137148 Oh. Well, sorry I wasn't much help
4137152 It's alright.
Although really I could probably benefit from not snacking on things I'm allergic to while I write.
*yelling intensifies*
I know how it feels to have ADHD. Just focus on one story at a time and pace yourself.

I know. When writers block hits ADHD makes it harder. Just try extra hard.
