I'm sorry it's taking so long to get the next chapters out. · 10:04pm Aug 13th, 2022
I've pretty much lost all motivation to do anything, but you've all probably noticed that already. I've already started the next two chapters (different locations and different characters) and they're moving along slowly, but I no longer have an end goal to push me.
Because of the way my brain works, I learned to make goals to push me forward and help me focus. Now that I have nothing left to aim for since they all failed (after years of work), I just can't muster up the energy to do anything anymore.
I keep trying to make myself new goals, but they just feel like short term accomplishments, and short term hardly lasts.
Sometimes you have to have to set short term goals when writing a story.
What I do if I'm having trouble with a chapter is try setting a goal I know I can achieve, like just writing a few sentences or a paragraph.
Maybe start with smaller goals as a sort of list maybe.
