So, I can relate to the laziness/procrastination part 100%!!! 😂 What I do to overcome that, is just force myself to write something. Even if it’s just a sentence or two. At least I got some words written of my WIP. Some days I only write a paragraph or two, some days I write a whole chapter, some days I write half a chapter, and other days I write just one sentence. XD Sometimes you just have get something written. 😉
As for thinking your writing isn’t that great, I totally get that too. I think almost every writer who’s ever lived on this earth has dealt with comparison at some point or another. 😅 First of all, your writing is great. I haven’t read much of your actual WIP, but I love reading the RPs you write!! Your writing style is awesome to read! 😉 Secondly, everyone’s writing is bad. But it doesn’t stay that way. There was an analogy that the author Ally Carter made in her writing book Dear Ally. She basically said that when you write, it’s like turning on a hose after a while. First you get the dirty water (the bad writing) but the longer the hose runs (the longer you write) the cleaner the water gets (the good writing).
So just keep writing. Don’t give up. And most importantly, take it to God. He wants to help you. I know He does. He’ll always be there for you. I will say from personal experience, that surrendering my writing to God, willingly letting Him use it for His will, helps me write more and get more excited about it. (And sometimes that writing is bad, but drafts are there for a reason. 😞😂)
Same with whatever you’re going through in life right now. God wants you to go to Him for whatever. He’s always ready to listen.
Anyway, I hope that encouraged you! 😊 You are a great writer and I believe that God will use you and your writing in mighty ways. I’ll be praying for you! ❤️

If that’s your first draft, I can’t wait to see the final draft!! 🤩

Hey there!
It’s been great actually! (Haven’t been able to say that in awhile lol)
I’ve been trying to spend a lot less time on social media and be more organized with school, and I feel like I have so much more time now.I’ve also got my driving test in like 2 days XD!
I recently got a book you might be interested in, it’s called making comics (by scott mccloud) and it’s so good! It’s 25 dollars but it’s totally worth it, it’s really detailed and there’s so much I didn’t really think about.
How is your week going? School going ok?
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."
That’s awesome! Good luck on your driver’s test.
That book sounds pretty cool. I think I have one like it, but I’m not sure it’s the same. It’s really old, so it has a bunch of doodles of my old comics in it. What’s your favorite part of your new book?
Lol, school… pretty sure I’m failing a class and I am way behind on my senior project, but there’s only like three more weeks until graduation, so I think I’ll make it. Other than that, my week has been pretty great, actually. Got to spend more time with my family.

Thanks!
Oh.. idk! It’s got some really good stuff in it. It’s written as a comic… about making comics… which is pretty cool. I like how they show how you can show different information to different people. Like some shots will show information only you and one character know, because it’s hidden by idk a wall or whatever from the other characters. I’m just getting to the part about making character designs… I think I’m a culprit of giving most of my guys the same body type lol, I feel like the book is calling me out now XD
Oh family time sounds nice! Your senior project is the comic, right? Or did you choose something different?
