D: tu as pas une assurance de med? c’est pas couvert ? ark bibi ;^;

Nope, it's not covered by the RAMQ and I don't have a private med insurance... The nurse told me it would be at least 60$ per month... which is 720$/year I don't have... I guess I'll have to find it...

I know what you mean >< Take good care, just a warning from experience, the first two weeks are rather horrible (for me at least) but it gets better

They warned me that often you get the bad side-effects before even getting the whole antidepressant effect so... I'm wishing for the best but I know the next 2 weeks might be hard... I'm seeing the nurse again in 2 weeks to see if we need to change the quantity or to litterally change medication. Oh and thank you ;~; I'll take care <3

Hi! this is going to sound really stupid but do you mind if I ask what motivates you/inspires you to write? Do you ever feel blocked? Cos I tend to get this huge block that lasts a really long time and I was sorta wondering what you do to motivate yourself to write *-*

This is not a stupid question! and I really wanted to give you a good answer orz which is why I took so long to get to this.

Motivation and inspiration are different things. I like to be productive, because while I may not necessarily like to work per se, being productive helps fend off feelings of uselessness. When I remain stagnant for too long I start to feel worthless, which affects my self-esteem and in turn exacerbates my anxiety and causes me to feel depressed. Writing (and drawing) is something productive and yet fun, unlike say, laundry lmao which is no fun at all. Oftentimes what motivates me to push on writing is all this positive stuff I associate with it, it's enjoyable, creative, and also makes me feel good about myself. It has the added bonus of making other people happy as well, and I'd be lying if I said my readers didn't also motivate me.

Inspiration is something else, and something harder to hold onto. It's easy to have inspiration at the start of a story, when you're first exploring the plot and people, but oftentimes that fizzles out. I am trying to think what inspires me to write, and it's… hard orz it's such an intangible thing. I think the biggest thing for me is life, living. And when I say that I mean the feeling of being alive, not necessarily something inspired by a near death experience or anything. For me it's my first sip of tea in the morning, the first inhale at my favorite bookstore and the scent of the new books and coffee, being in my car driving when the sun is going down and almost running red lights because I am too busy thinking how pretty the clouds look. It makes me write in my head, write descriptions or small scenarios. And it makes me want to go home and put that on paper, so other people can feel what I feel. It's that wonder that inspires me.

I don't know, I think people feel like if you have inspiration and hold it close, the words will pour out of you and be painless and easy. This is untrue. Writing for me has always felt like slogging through mud uphill. Sometimes it's waist-deep, sometimes ankle, but it's always muddy and always uphill. When you're inspired, it's easier, but never easy, and it always leaves me feeling mentally exhausted, though usually satisfied.

And of course I get blocked ;A; usually when I am depressed, not just like, emotionally down, but in one of my spirals, I get very badly blocked. Other times I just may not know how to write a scene, or a sentence, or a beginning, and that blocks me. And the only way to really get through it is to well, power through, force yourself. But you have to know when you can, because there's a difference between forcing yourself and forcing yourself. You need to be honest with yourself, and say "okay am I actually blocked or do I just not want to write this scene/feel lazy today/don’t know how to get started/am not inspired?" Because there's a difference. When you're actually blocked, the words don't come, and forcing yourself will often only yield substandard results and make you feel even shittier, and will often inspire a feeling of horrible frustration and make you cry. For other times though, power through! Or figure out what's wrong. If I can't figure out how to write a scene and have been staring at the little blinky thing in Word for a half an hour, I'll just skip it. You're allowed to do that! It kind of blew my mind when I realized I didn’t have to write in a certain order. If you're distracted, remove the distractions. Disconnect the internet. Clear your head with a quick walk. Go somewhere else to write, like the library or a café.

This is really long so I am going to wrap it up by saying that you can't write well if you don't read. A good book can help you get in the writing mindset, and inspire you as well! So yeah that is all ;A; good luck writing!
