i am discouraged
lately i've felt very discouraged in my personal writing. does this happen to you guys, and if so, how do you deal? with rp it's great to get constant feedback, but with my personal writing - my pet novel-project in particular - i feel like i sit so long stewing my ideas between just me and myself, and quickly lose my will to write and come to believe that my ideas are just bad. there is no love & encouragement in personal projects, is there? today i went exploring to try to encourage myself, and amassed a perfect visual representation of my story.





but that wasn't really enough to get me motivated again, so i was wondering if any of you ladies are also working on projects and would be interested in swapping first chapters. i need some feedback and encouragement, and i would be glad to provide feedback and encouragement. we could have a first-chapter-swapping party. anyone up for it?

i wish i had the motivation for a personal project. like liz, i feel so unfocused when it comes to doing things on my own, whereas RP there's this constant need for reply reply reply reply or else the person on the other end's like WTFMAN:///. so yeah, i sort of cling to it too.

i seriously really admire you guys for having that sort of drive. D: i used to do itty bitty fanfics, and of all of my WIPs, i've only ever finished ONE and it was CRAP but gosh i was the proudest little mother hen. i have ideas, sure, but i never go anywhere with them... perhaps i might. maybe.


i love the pictures btw. especially the cracked floor with that stencil of the bird.
