It's only been a week since I started on this story, and I've been really consistent about writing in it or at least exploring the story ideas and characters every day. I missed maybe one day, but that was semi on purpose since it was Sunday. Anyhow, I've run into my first state of writer's block...
I have a lot of the story, and a lot of who the characters are... But right now, it doesn't quite feel cohesive and there's a lot of moving parts, and I don't know if I'll be able to keep track of it all and make it a story worth reading and the ideas come, but nothing feels right, and I don't want to feel this way... I'm going to experiment. Potentially, I am feeling burnt out. I'm not used to using my creative brain every single day. This has been the most consistent I've been in, like, forever, and so, just like my current job, I may just need a little break to give my brain a rest.
Let the details come together on their own... You are putting in the effort already, stop trying to force the outcome.
^^ I was talking to myself right there.
Anyhoo, I will set an alarm in two days to start writing again, if I don't just naturally start writing again, or get distracted by something else, that will be my call to return to the current project. Let's see if it's enough :P
I will get through this! I am recognizing how I feel and taking steps to work through it.
Keep moving forward and find joy!
