Hey folks!
So I’m curious: what are the brick walls that you tend to run into while you’re writing or trying to be a writer? Big or small, ridiculous or serious, I want to know!

Also getting caught up reading articles I pulled up so I could check the reality of something I just wrote… or checking my dad’s Twitter account… or looking up images for a castle or a sword or a really cool costume. Anything cool and interesting, in fact. 😛

INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
January 4, 2016 at 12:13 pm #8309Deciding that I’m going to write some now and then trying to come up with the best possible scene that should come next… and then rethinking it and rethinking it and… well you get the picture. My fingers don’t even hit the keys sometimes.
Pinterest. It’s great for inspiration, but it’s a good thief of time.
Excuses, excuses excuses. I have to practice my music. I need to bake something. I have to sleep. I need a snack. My brain can’t possible function enough to write right now. This story isn’t worth writing.
This is pretty much my biggest “brick wall”. Not making the time to write.https://rolenahatfield.com/

I’m getting depressed.
My next topic of research is going to be developing good writing habits and writing faster and more. That will be the ultimate procrastination excuse.
