Yeah. Like I know what scene I want to write next but I'm just o.o <---that's my face trying to write. Just o.o Thankfully I have a better idea about the prompt and it seems to be proceeding more smoothly. It's a good deal later in my book than where I am currently, though.
Ugh, I know that feel -_-
Practice makes perfect, right My book is coming along slowly :P
I know, I 've watched a lot of shows like that and I've read a lot of books like that, but it's just that most of my ideas have at least some degree of fantasy to them. Like, the novel I'm working now is essentially urban fantasy, but what I'm focusing in it is the people, their emotions and relationships - something not really integral to fantasy. So while I think I am capable of writing good characters in a non-fantasy setting, I am a bit scared that I might run out of ideas soon. I'll focus on non-fantasy stuff for the next couple of prompts to see how it works out. And how is your book coming along?
Thank you for the compliments. It's nice to hear . I've read your blog and I think it's great you're focusing on being positive right now! I hope you do well with your blog. When you get it set up you can link it to me and I'd be happy to read it. I'm not sure how well I would do at writing non-fantasy either. Maybe watching some shows about just everyday life (like I'm watching Sex & the City, which started as a book) might help inspire you?
Don't worry about it. I'll always lend an ear if you need to vent your frustrations, so really, don't sweat it I think I've mentioned this, but I decided to change the blog I have here and dedicate it to updates focusing on being positive. I know that issues like yours are complex and it would take way more than a simple post on the Internet to brighten your day, but I want to update that with something that'll at least be some food for thought, so perhaps that will help you take your mind off of things. Like you said, you probably should stop comparing yourself to people without any issues. Every person's road through life is different, nothing good comes out of measuring yourself against others. Just celebrate every little success you achieve I'm fine, as usual. I've noticed a lot of people around here have serious issues that I've simply never had to deal with, so I guess that makes me an extremely lucky man. I was hoping I would be able to share some of my happiness with others who may not have enough of it, but that is never so simple :/ A new semester has started and it's pretty lax so far. I've been focusing on my writing. I'm trying to shift my style a little bit. The thing is, I told you once I wanted to become a traditionally published author, right? Well, I found out making a dedicated writing blog and gathering followers is pretty crucial and increases your chances in doing that, but I've never been good with social media. Still, I intend to do this. There is just one thing. As you've probably noticed, my stories are most often some shade of fantasy/sci-fi, which is an alienating concept for many. I've decided to write some more down-to-earth things for now, considering that someone who doesn't normally read fantasy will read a fantasy piece by an author they like, whereas otherwise they might skip the blog altogether. And while I'm trying, I'm not really sure I have what it takes to write a compelling story without fantasy elements. So, I think it's gonna be hard, but I'm still determined to do it. Also, just coming back to your problems for a second, just going by your writing, I really think you have a lot to be proud of yourself for. I mean, since the beginning of the prompts thread I can tell that you've improved by leaps and bounds. I think it's great that we as human beings have been gifted with the potential to create our own stories and inspire others with them, however little people that may be. With your talent, you can share your cherished story with others. And that by itself is pretty exceptional
No, not at all :P. I felt kind of bad because you're trying to be nice and ask how it's going with the game and I haven't really played it much lately. I finished the second dungeon about a week ago but haven't been back to play again since. This is going to sound a little sad and pathetic but I've been checking out a lot of depression forums and something a lot of them have in common is a thread basically for "what did you motivate yourself to do today" and people post in there about how they're so happy because they actually made dinner today. Or they did the laundry. Or they went for that walk. And everyone encourages them like "wow good job". I feel like a useless lump of poop and I think part of the problem might be that I'm holding myself to a standard of someone who doesn't suffer from a severe mental disorder and expecting myself to behave and function as well as they do, and I think I need to accept that I can't. Doing some stuff is just going to be more difficult for me. So I guess I need to start looking at how much I'm accomplishing for a person with my issues. I think that (at least in North America) depression isn't really taken seriously, and a lot of people just look at it as the person is lazy or just a whiner. I think that mentality has done a lot of negative for me because now I feel like that about myself even though I actually know what depression feels like. Anyways, sorry for the long rant :P How are you?
Now I feel like an insensitive price I had no idea you had so much on your mind lately. If you've got depression, that's probably for the best from what I heard, though. I wish you all the best
I have not actually. tbh I haven't been playing much. I've been trying to keep up with the housework and I'm writing 4 things for the site and editing another (whenever I hear back about it) and also trying to get writing and drawing practice in and practicing my Spanish. And then there's spending time with my boyfriend of course. This isn't really a lot for a normal person but considering my severe depression its hard for me to just get out of bed. By the end of it all I'm just kind of pooped :< It's a shame because I really like the game and want to play more. Will get to it soon hopefully
Did you catch an Espurr yet? I actually think it and it's evolution are incredibly adorable.
