I love the dreary weather, but shoot, I have no motivation to write or do more than sleep 😩 I want to write all the Stan stuff, but I'm so freaking tired.

I'll be completely honest with you guys.

Lately, fandom life isn't feeling the way it used to feel for me. I always loved to write, to draw, to engage in conversations about my fandoms. It made me happy and I felt energized. Everything I saw, every little word, inspired me to write amazing stories. But nowadays, I don't feel this spark of inspiration anymore. On some days, I feel it a little bit. On some days, it's completely gone. And that is something that scares the hell out of me.

Some time ago, I showed my friend a movie trailer, and after she had watched it, she told me that it's great stuff for my fanfictions. And I thought to myself 'Yeah. You're right. Usually I would have written thousands of words based on that trailer.' But I didn't feel it. I didn't feel the spark.

I don't really know why I'm telling you this. I... guess I just want my mutuals and readers to know what's going on inside me.

Hey creative friends! I need some advice.

Do you ever have moments when everything you make feels so shallow and pointless? I feel like everything I'm writing is terrible.

Individual sections are fine, but it all seems to lack something when I put it together. I've written and deleted more words in the last month than I ever have before and I'm starting to suspect that there's something else going on.

Does anyone have experience with this, or maybe some advice on how you steered out of the skid?

17 going on 18

being 17 is so wild because I always thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. It's so easy to want to try and change the world and get a doctorate in astrophysics and a million other things but for some reason, right as those feelings reached their climax I'm craving simplicity. Maybe I just want to own a flower shop with someone I love and look at the stars with them and go to pottery classes and hike on the weekends.
