I was in such a flow state with my writing WHERE DID IT GOOOOO 😖

Writer's Struggle Log #9

I search for the words that once filled me

I search for the words that gave me life

I search for the words that once

Were undeniable

The words that, of me, were apart

I search for the words that told

I search for the words that hid

I search for the words that marked

And those that were easy to forget

I search for the words, without which, I am incomplete

I search for the words that in the wind flit

Those words that have been drowned

In the endless darkness of emotion

The words, the stars in the sea of night

I search for the words because I am empty

I search for the words because I am hurt

I search for the words to explain my envy

Of those who do not have to search

I search for the words to cry for help

I search for the words to rejoice

In the words where I once searched for myself

I find words that seem to never return

And so I search

Hey sweetie. Read your post. I can assure you that your presence here on tumblr is your contribution, whether you can give us beautiful writings or not. The end of fic blues can linger, sure, but just know that the little depression gremlin in your brain is trying to mess with you. We all love you on here, appreciate your prose, and are thankful for your care and comfort. ❤️

Yes, the consensus in the comments seems to be I'm not alone in this feeling. Sometimes it's just hard to tell what is caused by depression and what is a normal human experience. This is probably both honestly. But it's comforting to know I'm not alone in this feeling. And I, too, appreciate all of my mutuals whether they contribute by art, fic, edits or just screaming in the tags.

That annoying itch in the back of your head when you went out of your way to look up just the right word for that proper poetic flow, to make sure you were using it in just the right place...

...and then you wound up deleting the entire line.

Is there a word for that? There should be.

i want to finish open skies because its been so long now and i'd love to be able to say that i've finished such a big project. also this fic is the only thing occupying my mind and it will be nice to finally relax without having a voice in the back of my head telling me that i really should be writing right now. but also in between chapter i never know what to do. ive forgotten what i used to do before i started writing open skies. i dont know what my hobbies are anymore fjgkg so what will i do when theres actually no more to write? at all???

That moment when you feel like all you write is crap and want to curl up in a corner
