I'm sure it will come to me
Had to delete a few thousand words in the process though
Sometimes I read what I write and I want to bash my head againt a wall

I have been hiding behind my stories 😆😆

That happens to all of us 😆😆

I see, do spend some time recovering that energy back here

So if you were to give one piece of advice to a writer, what would your most important be?

Write only when you have a flow of thoughts. It is useless to write otherwise. Your best work comes when you have that flow.

Quite! Agreed. When that flow comes I can write pages!

I once did that. 12 updates in a week! But it took its toll and I now know not to repeat that.

Mine would be : be prepared for little or no interest. Nothing breaks a newbie writer quicker than that.

Yes. But one should write for the love of it.

Ideally. But it's hard so I would advise the same.

It hurts more when you love your work to bits but realise it just won't work

I had this cool idea recently but again no plot

Second time.

I have the characters but no plot

I also have a plot but no succinct idea of how that plot will work on another project

I've also been reading more fanfiction. They make me laugh 😆

Writing keeps me sane and I have a god complex of some degrees lol

I can create a world much better than the one I live in and live a thousand different lives instead of the lacklustre one I have. I can be anyone except for me. But of course it's all words at the end of the day

The illusion ultimately breaks
