This goes out to all you writers out there..
Do you ever just lose your voice? Like for a moment there, feel like you’ve gained, accomplished momentum, rhythm, then all of a sudden: poof, now you’ve forgotten how to write your own name?
Since I’ve returned to officially finishing my fantasy book, my flow has been: ◀️⏯️▶️▶️▶️◀️◀️◀️◀️◀️⏯️▶️▶️▶️⏯️⏯️⏯️⏯️▶️▶️▶️
This of course absolutely nags at me because then I find it necessary to go back and edit previous chapters, so that whatever I’ve now mastered is now pervasive throughout my writing and flows. (This is my third go around I think..)
It’s all, in a word: exhausting. It drives me absolutely wild with exhaustion and is worry, to be honest, because then I start to get concerned I may never finish *echoes* which is a perfectionist’s worst nightmare – mare – mare…
So here I am, writing in here again. After wilfully tormenting myself by editing my book, I suppose lol.
I feel like, though, that my ebb and flow might be completely dominated by every mood I go through and not just lack of inspiration. It becomes an ongoing battle trying to determine whether I need to push through or not. Is it my mood or not. Some battling times are a bit more challenging than others like right about now, but we digress..
Back to the question, am I being a baby or do I just need rest when the tide comes? Or is it not a tide at all but a small swell? It’s anyone’s guess really, but then the experimenting for a solution must begin or…. Ugh, free will is annoying. This doesn’t only happen with writing you know…
But it will all be okay right? Like beyond my book included?
Please.
