    I am really struggling to find the motivation to write. I have the characters, the world, and even their idiosyncrasies and how they would or wouldn’t deal with a certain situation. When I’m doing a normal everyday task or at work, I may come across sparks of ‘oh hey I wonder what they’d do here’ or ‘that would definitely be a ____ thing’.

    I am so invested in their world and what they stand for. I have a beginning, middle and ending with the first 6 or so chapters written… but now I’ve just hit a wall. I know what I want to write, but whenever I sit down to, I just stare blankly unable to get those thoughts onto paper. Any tips I would be incredibly grateful for.

    • Riley, I’ve had a hard time finding the motivation to write as well. I’ve really been wanting to start something even if it’s fanfiction but I keep drawing blanks. I want to get back into writing.

      • I feel you! Sometimes I write little random snippets without worrying about world building etc that helps. I’m hoping to try work on some pieces soon.

    • I’ve been the same way for awhile. I’ve been drawing recently, it’s been keeping me motivated. I’m hoping when I’m done with the drawing prompts that I’m doing I’ll be motivated enough to do writing prompts.

I like to tell dad jokes and film stuff. Maybe one day you'll catch me on tour with a camera.
