Why I haven't done anything in forever... · 2:16am Mar 3rd, 2018
Hello everypony,
I'm here to explain the blog post title. I uh...I just haven't had any motivation for writing. Heck, when I look at my old stuff....I just want to delete them...but I also want to continue them...but I can't. I have no motivation, no nothing. I look back and my writing technique is...pathetic. As in, no technique or style. I don't even know if I really know how to write.
And yet...I also like what I wrote. At least my one-shots and The Key to the Light story. I want to like my other stories, but I'm half and half with them. Half of me wants to continue, other half just wants to give up.
Also, about why I'm not writing...I've been editing. A lot. I've been editing with another author for the past year and a third...and we've done a lot together. Heck, we're about 400,000 words in terms of me editing the story and him writing. And this is a little over a year, and I'm not editing all of his stories. I've done 4 stories with him in terms of editing, and he's five other full-length stories along with a story that is just one-shots. The guy is a machine. He's easily done like...600,000+ words in under a year and a half. He's truly a cool guy.
I've been editing other stuff too, but...yeah. I think I prefer editing than anything. Everytime I write now, I just...I just get so...so depressed at how I write. Editing on the other hoof, is a lot of fun. I don't why, but I really enjoy it. Granted, I have no time anymore than the stories I'm editing right now, but still...I enjoy it. I really do.
Sorry this sounded like a bunch of whining. I just wanted to tell everypony about why I haven't been doing anything. I still want to write, and I will figure out a way to get back into writing.
I will figure it out. I will start writing again. Eventually.
Sorry for the depressing blog. I'm thinking of doing new blogs, maybe over opinions or something. I hope to do something good soon. I believe I can...
Take a break. You've produced a lot, so maybe start taking in some more stuff and just chill.

Thanks...
You have to do what you have to do. I do hope however that you do get back into writing.

Thank you.
As the others say, take a rest and chillax.

Thanks.
Writing has it's ups and downs, and even the most dedicated of writers can get burned out. I've found that those that have real interest in it always manage to come back to it though, so I wouldn't stress too much about it right now. Take what time you need to figure it out, then go from there, but at the very least, always try to think positively about it--focus less on the downsides and more on the upsides, and how you can continue to go up from here, rather than look down and see how far you could possibly fall.

Thanks. I'm generally a very negative person, so its hard for me. But, I'm hoping to get something out soon. Hopefully.

I haven't given up...hopefully. Life isn't easy right now...
Take a break. That usually spawns more inspiration. I had this story idea which I abandon for a year due to lack of inspiration, a year later I had a ton of ideas and concepts.
You may hit a brick wall now and then but limitation spawns inspiration
That is depressing for Silvak as a connected story and both have not updated in ages.

Here are some more ways to trick yourself into feeling inspired, even if it’s about a subject you might not be very enthusiastic about.
I hope it will help the author to regain motivation 😌
