Writer's Struggles - Tumblr Posts

...mood. @justyourregulardepressedteen @sharmasaurus

I really want to write right now and yet I've been sitting her for 15 minutes staring blankly at my screen listening to music just waiting for the entire 500-page book going on in my head to somehow write itself exactly how I want it to be

I’ve been publishing some stories on AO3 for like a year now, and I’m having trouble updating them. Not updating them gives me pressure because there are many people who like it and I feel bad for not updating for so long. I’m going through school and it’s consuming all my time. Also, I have trouble writing because of my perfectionism and belief that I’m not a good enough writer. I constantly compare myself to others, such as how long my story is and how many likes there are. It’s annoying and unhealthy.

I want to stop these habits and have a healthier mindset. Can I have some advice on how to do that please?

Can I also have advice on:

-What to do when you have writer’s block

-How to write the beginning of chapters

-How to stop striving so hard for perfection

Thank you to anyone who answers or likes! 😁💕

why the fuck is trying to come up with a title for my book so hard. like bro. I have the name of the series already, now why can't I name the individual damn books!!

also why can't I italicize things on a phone. or am I just dumb

Don't you just love it when the imposter syndrome kicks in? Like, what am I even doing? 🤷
