Pointless entry is pointless

[hopemedina]

The more I write, the less I seem to like what I put out. These days, it's impossible to settle my over-active mind down for something like a half hour's worth of writing but, even if I do, the result is so ... blah that I end up trashing it anyway. Emotions, flow, the things that make a gripping book gripping; these are the things that're missing

*hugs* Everyone's allowed a little writer's block now and then, darlin' ~ I wouldn't let it get you down too much. <3

I don't know if this counts as advice or not, but when I need to write something but can seem to get anywhere with it, I try to concentrate on one tiny thing: a sentence, a color, a sensation, whatever. And then try to spin it out from there in my mind, see how far I can take it until it becomes something coherent .. I think tasks are less overwhelming if you zero in on a detail, at least to get you started?

Also, yaay pencil case! Do we get to see pics when you're done? :D

It's not writer's block per se, it's an absolute hatred of the writing style I currently possess. x_x I've got like eight websites open giving advice like television advertisments, and I keep falling into bad habits. Oh, listen to me go on. Thank you for your advice though, love -- I'll definitely try that, and bother those poor people who are within distance for con-crit. xDDD.

And yes! Provided that it actually gets done. I am terrible with finishing projects.
