Just try to do Something

It makes me so sad that I have so much I want to do but I never actually do it.

I want to draw, but I get frustrated too quickly so I never pick up a pencil.

I want to play my favorite video game, but I just can't bring myself to lift the controller.

It just sucks because I genuinely do like these things its just my dumb brain chemicals won't let me do them.

Let this be your daily reminder to try and do just one thing everyday. It can be something you think is miniscule, like a small doodle or going on a short walk, just do SOMETHING. I know if I don't then it leads me down a dark cycle of just bedrotting all day everyday.

Uhh, yeah... I wanted to post something like this for a while.

I'm going to try to draw with my persona more

Sorry for the rough art btw

Fun fact to get perspective on how much time i actually need to get something done, this took 2 hours...

I'll see if I can get chapter 6 of The Way of a Glutton out soon. Even if it might be a shorter chapter this time.

I wish i could function normally sometimes...

I hate how it's easier to talk about writing my story and what it's about than actually writing it. I'm sure there's plenty of people who would love to read a skz fantasy fanfic, but I CAN'T EVEN WRITE IT!!!

AGH

This has been in first draft for months, and I haven't gotten more than 2k words in.

MOTIVATION IS TOO HARD TO FIND WHY

[useless-moss]

Why do I always get random bursts of writing motivation right when I'm about to go to sleep?

Like?? I physically can't write anything that I'm happy with during the day but the second I'm ready for bed and planning to turn in I get this random ass energy??

Just-why???

[sourgummymouth]

Am I the only one who will play animal crossing for like 3 months straight and then, as soon as I miss one day, will loose all motivation will completely restart six months after that??

To all of my writer friends struggling with motivation

You can do it.

I know you can keep doing it!

Don’t have any ideas? Take a quick walk, or listen to music, or do whatever you normally do to create them?

Have it all planned out, but can’t find a way to type the words? Plan it out in your head word for word. The story doesn’t have to match exactly to what you type, but it’s nice, writing internally can help before you type/write something

Have everything, but are still struggling to write because a part of you doesn’t want to? Take a quick break. Just relax for 5-30 minutes, and chill. When you’re done, NO MATTER WHAT, go back and write. 

Good luck! :)

It gets so tiring for me mentally when I keep having to tell people off in this household for distracting me constantly when I have already told them beforehand that I'm busy working on something (mainly my photography works).

I deserve (more) respect & recognition, I think.

P.S Not to mention, their behaviour is actually thoughtless and very inconsiderate to me personally since I am known to have issues with motivation to do stuff, as well as going out to get stuff done such as getting new photographs on my camera.

It is really disrespectful, as well as rude.

I don't even know how to explain my random bouts of having zero motivation to do anything. Like I have dirty dishes piling up in my sink because I can't bring myself to unload the dishwasher, I have a basket full of clean laundry because I cant summon the will to actually fold it. I have half written 12DOC fics because I want to write them, i just can't.

I feel like I can't call it depression, because I dont want to not exist. I just want to not.
