i'm so jealous ur getting published!! i've wanted to be an author since i was a kid too and this year after not physically writing since sophomore year i'm finally getting back into it but after writing a couple paragraphs i've just reached like a stall like i know what to write i'm just not motivated to Do It 😩😩😩 but anyway congrats!!!!!
It’s a good sign that you know where your story’s headed! That’s a big first step tbh, that I struggle with a lot haha. If motivation is the issue, just take it one paragraph at a time. Make it a nightly ritual, or something scheduled. You can do anything for just five or ten minutes, right? So why not write? You don’t have to do a hardcore session. Just take it bit by bit, and that’ll keep you in the story’s mindset. If you do just a few sentences every day, the progress will surprise you. Best of luck!
