Help? · 6:59am Mar 31st, 2018
It's been about a week since my last message to you https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/802626/important-update
Since then, I've tried to get started but nothing came out. I want to keep wanting to write this for those of you who want to read it but it's feeling more distant every day.
It's been a really long time since I started planning to write this, and I don't want to quit on this story now, not with the buildup I've given it.
I don't know if there are any of you out there still reading these, but I think I need some help, or advice or something. Even a reference or link to a writing help website would be appreciated.
I don't know what else to say except, I guess I'm asking for help.
Has it been too long to write this? Is it too late?
Hmm... I diagnose you with
Writers Block dun dun duuuuuuun
Did you read the links I sent you a while back?

That I did. And they were really helpful, I go back to them time and time again. Granted, I am still able to write a lot right now, just not the story I've taken forever to plan. It seems like I waited too long because my interest is almost gone, but I don't want to let down anyone who wanted to read what happens next for Trixie and her friends. Especially since I promised I'd write this. I guess it's a weird kind of writer's block, but I don't really know how to approach it. Is there a specific webpage or blog that addresses this? Or maybe a certain group on here that I might not have noticed before. I guess I'm just a little lost, is all.

Honestly yeah, that pretty much feels like what's happening.
In any case, thank you so much for listening. I'll still keep trying no matter what. 'Cause that's just what I do.

I have a folder full of dead ideas and drafts, tbh. It happens to everyone. Sometimes I lose interest, other times I realize something I had in the dead folder would be perfect later on down the line. That's actually the case with the story I'll be posting next week--it's a drastic rework of a certain chapter I showed you through e-mail a while back.
It's a perfectly fine thing to have happen, happens to all writers. But it's why I don't announce anything before it's five words away from being ready to publish.
That said, I think you'll be fine. Remember the fun. Go to the next thing that interests you and put the words on the page. Readers who follow you tend to like things to read that come from you.

Yeah, you're right. I guess it just happens sometimes. I'll definitely get better about my own organization of projects and time management. Thanks, though.
If the ideas come flowing back to me, I'll definitely pick up on the story.
