Questions to ponder part 11
mare:
I came up with a few ideas last night that I know will only ever be just ideas. lol
Something else I learned about myself is I do get more inspired after reading something really well written and interesting fanfic wise. I never really thought that helped but it does. Like that story "Brothers" that hadn't been updated in over a year. I stayed away from reading the update initially because like I said up there earlier ^ I'm tired of reading one chapter and then having to wait 6 months to read another one so I kind of made a vow to not read something unless at least two updates happen within quick proximity to each other or that the author seems like they are committed enough to finish it. Since she posted three chapters within a week of each other I finally read the update and it got me wanting to read about the boys since the actual boys haven't done much for me lately! Last night I found myself thinking about story lines again because of it.
So, I really need some of you to step up your updating of the stories I am reading or write something I really want to read so this way I might want to write again! LOL It's all about me...me...me!! :)

I don't think it's true writer's block as much as it is me either overthinking things or just losing focus, because once I put my mind to it and get into a groove, I can hammer out a whole scene without stopping. It just takes me a long time to get to that place. I just finished writing a scene that I've had playing in my head all week, and it turned out more or less like I imagined it, but it took me literally all day to get to a point where I could write it. I had to get all my usual distractions - TV, music, social media, excessive research, and the internet in general - out of my system first, and then I was able to write just fine. But even that only works with stories I really want to write.
My other problem is that lately, even if I like my ideas, I don't like actually writing any of my stories. I just want to have that one story that I'm obsessed with writing, and I haven't really had that in a couple of years, so I keep flitting from one idea to another, hoping to find that one that's going to keep me inspired.

I can't write if there is too much silence so I have to have at least the music on, though on low volume. But I have the same problem, when I'm into writing I really get sucked in and can write an entire scene in a day. But it takes really so much to get in that mood that, usually, I end up not writing at all. lol
That's something that I really want to change.
