    I would love to get back into writing, especially fanfiction; but I just haven’t been feeling that drive in months. It’s really frustrating; because years ago, fanfiction used to be such an escape for me. Nowadays, I feel like there’s so much negativity all around that it really ruins something that was once good.

    • My advice is to try to sit down with a pen and paper or a computer, whichever you feel most comfortable with, and start writing whatever comes to mind. Don’t worry about if it’s “good” or not. Just start writing. Create your perfect world without any of the negativity that’s holding you back.😊

      • Thanks for your advice, Carson! I really miss writing fanfiction because fandoms were a major escape for me when I’d been younger. I used to *enjoy* writing fanfiction and it was a nice bonus when anonymous internet users gave positive feedback. But today when I go on FFN or AO3, I see a lot of toxic activity by those who are one-track in mind…Read More

It doesn’t help that I find my creativity is connected to my bipolar disorder. so when I’m stable it’s like I just can’t produce anything whereas if my meds are off or I’m manic then I’m like a rocket taking off and I can write like crazy.

    I don’t keep a physical journal because it would be too much work for me to make it just how I want it and I’d begin obsessing over it. It would take the fun out of journaling for me and I’d lose sight of what I was meant to be doing in the first place. Instead, I do my journaling online, mostly on a Microsoft Word document. Unfortunately, I…Read More

    • Jenna I know what you mean. Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves about the perfection of it all that we lose sight of just the simple joy even if it’s nothing extravagant. My best idea is to start small. Maybe find a topic online and go from there. It doesn’t even have to be anything big. Maybe just one sentence and then see where it goes.
