@kate-flournoy It’s just…how am I going to run a kingdom like this? *tragic face*

@dragon-snapper There’s something to that, definitely. I know writing gives me moments of great ecstasy, but nine times out of ten, writing is more about discipline. My point is, if you want a fun hobby, there are other hobbies that require much less asceticism.

@daeus I slightly disagree with that. We should right because it’s fun. But when we do it for a job, then we should right because it’s our job. I write because it’s fun.

@perfectfifths good to know. 😉

@joy-schmidt I have a similar problem, except I think it really is more the case of what Kate said the first time. @kate-flournoy So your psychoanalysis was not in vain. 😉

@Daeus *innocent whistling*

@dragon-snapper Maybe :p

@kate-flournoy Didn’t I just tell you I was busy being productive?

@joy-schmidt Ahem. Here are three thoughts.

Don’t write because writing’s fun, because it isn’t fun (at least, not in any lighthearted way). Write only because writing is serious.

There is more to a story than what you have planned for it. Write to discover your character’s…[Read more]

@livylynn Ooh, intrigue! Why is that. or are you not sharing that publicly either? 😉 And that’s an impressive word count! 🙂

@rolena-hatfield

But I’m already booked with reading this month.

Is that a pun? 😀 XD

Lemme tag some other people here. @Daeus @Dragon-Snapper @DelightinLife @SleepwalkingMK

@seekjustice Yes, there will be a paperback.

@cloudy dude, that is actually really awesome. I’m jealous.

@cloudy I use Faber-Castell art pens, they are really nice and I use them all the time. I need to buy a new black brush pen, however, and might try a couple new brands I basically use whatever I can find but it’s time for me to really invest in some nice tools. I might try regular ink to it brushes and fountains pens. What do you use?…[Read more]

@Salome01w4g Bye!

@Joy-Schmidt ohhhh! Well then, you just answered your own question! XD
That’s very possible though.
In which case, I’m afraid it’s probably just a discipline problem. Maybe you should ask yourself why you write— what it is about writing that makes you want to do it. I’ve read your work and I see a lot of potential, but if you write merely for…[Read more]

@salome01w4g I beta-read it earlier on. 🙂

@salome01w4g Audiomachine is an epic music group that I love to listen to. Of course, I’m listening to Paper Mario music now. 🙂
Daeus’ story is very interesting! Fools in the Darkness. Oooh… 😀

@Joy-Schmidt hm… I have never actually encountered this exact problem, but I may have an idea of why it’s happening to you.
Based on my *coughs* psychoanalysis, 😛 (yeah, please don’t kill me) you may be killing your creativity by shoving the story over to the logical part of your brain. In my experience, writing is an emotional/intuitive…[Read more]

@salome01w4g Awesome! I will give you an un’melted chair for inspiration! 😀 *hands you a chair that is melted on top, but fine at the bottom.*
Maybe that’s not very good inspiration though.
Take some ice cream.

And Audiomachine.

@salome01w4g Hiya!
