Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had identical brains? (It wouldn’t, but it would at least be practical.)
If this were the case, then we would all be writing meaningful stories about boys whose dogs and mother die. (Really meaningful)
Sometimes it is necessary to paint the sky black in order to see the stars.
Last I counted I was at 69 full length novel drafts.
Wooph!

HAHA!!! I love that quote so much.
Lol. Yeah, I get told it’s a lot.
No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.
As long as you love it and it contains a piece of your heart, that’s all that matters. <3
I’m not sure how to feel about this. I feel more as if I’m trying to put my heart into it, and I haven’t found the way to express it in writing format. But thanks for the encouragement. 😁

AH I take it back! I don’t want to share brains, and I don’t want to write about the same concept over and over. I like individuality after all.

Hi, I don’t believe I’ve talked to you in what feels like ages 😂
I wish I could be of advice but uh I haven’t touched my draft in months?? Ikr???
I did at some point stop writing scenes I wasn’t interested in and that kinda helped. Like idk, I watch some anime that just skips the boring stuff. A great example of this is I was reading (manga this time) Blue Lock, and then main character fell asleep during a important soccer match, meaning it had to be explained to him. I realized afterwards this was just the author being really smart. The match wasn’t super important, and by the main character having it explained to him we get it summarized as readers. I want to learn how to do stuff like that in my writing because it made the book flow really well. Ig there are some scenes you just have to write though, so idk. I guess I’m not the person to be telling you how to write when I haven’t written in so long lol.

Miiinnnn, hey girl!! Has life been chill with you?

I shall remember this in case of emergency boring scene, then. XD Sometimes you just gotta skip the boring stuff. (Although ofc there’s a difference between something being boring and something important being hard to write, so I have to think about that too.)

Girl you are a perfectly good writer, and taking a break from it only steeps your ideas in the wisdom of life-experienced Min.

My question is, how do you tough through some of the sections which aren’t as fun to write? And how do you motivate yourself to keep going when your finished sections look pretty bad?
I hear you.
And I have no solutions. *shrugs* If anyone comes up with any…lemme know XD

Miiinnnn, hey girl!! Has life been chill with you?
Hey!!
Most definitely not chill lol. Everything appears to have gone downhill from a outsiders perspective but I feel like it’s the crash before the climb if you know what I mean? Like idk, I feel like I’m finding myself in the midst of all this and that’s something I’ve been missing my whole life. I’m just discovering things I guess. Trying to keep up hope that things will work out : )
How about you?

Yeah probably. Maybe you just need to give yourself some time. I get stressed out writing difficult scenes if I try to get through it too fast, or treat it like just a block in the road instead of a opportunity for creativity.

Aw ty girl, that makes me feel a little better.
Also completely unrelated but I’m watching a show right now you might really like! It’s called Link Click, it’s a Chinese animated phycological/paranormal thriller. I don’t usually watch that kind of stuff but there’s no like ghosts/spirits stuff in it, just people with crazy abilities. Season 1 is one of the best written shows I’ve ever seen but I think I need to take a break before season 2 because the cliffhanger was rather disturbing and I need to recover my nervous system 😭😭😂
So far it’s been decently clean but of course I’d do your own research if you plan on watching it : )
