Don't give yourself a deadline and announce it publicly.

I'm hard at work on my next big story! I hit some writer's block in the initial stages, but now I've got the ball rolling on it. I'm gonna try to get three chapters finished by June 1st, and if I do I'll post another one-shot sometime soon after that. I'm probably gonna have a slower updating schedule with this new story than I had last time, as I'll be writing and editing it as I post, so I can implement criticisms or ideas that pop up when I'm talking with you guys more easily.

I'm working hard on my next story. I've got a lot of ideas I wanna work with, but so far the total narrative is a bit weak, so I'm brainstorming ways to structure it better.
I've got two one-shots loaded and ready to go, and if I get enough of my next multi-chapter story written down then I think I'll post one of them on Wednesday. No promises, but I hope that's what I'm able to do.

I'm terrified of unintentionally making something similar to someone else's work and being called a hack, or a copy-cat, or a plagiarizer. I literally have nightmares about this happening.

I've started browsing a ton of other people's stories and making mental notes to not add certain things in. I'm really paranoid about this.

So I've hit a liiiiiittle bit of writers block lately. As in, I haven't even finished the first chapter of my next story because I kind of hate it a lot, and I've instead been writing one-shots to kill the time.
