@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*

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

Is that a pun? 😀 XD

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

@seekjustice Yes, there will be a paperback.

@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.
