Should I discontinue my story or just put it on hold for a while?

I’ve been so demotivated to write since June last year. But now it’s worse than ever. I don’t know what to do. My story is no longer even a story that’s my type. I’ve come so far with my story. I don’t know what to do. So many times I forced myself to write and now I have no idea what to do.

  • Discontinue your story
  • Put it on hold for a while

If the story no longer resonates with you, inspires you or makes you happy. I think it’s best to discontinue. :see_no_evil::broken_heart:

But if there’s apart of you that still loves it and thinks there’s a possibility of wanting to continue where you left off, putting it on hold is better. :woman_shrugging:t3:

I’m not exactly sure how you feel about the story, but that’s my take.

I feel like putting a hold on your story is just a pause before you discontinue it :thinking:

I think you should discontinue it and make something that you want to write :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I felt that way with my story Over It, I wrote it as a way of healing/closure, and so much had changed during writing it. It had quite a bit of readers (more then any other I wrote) so I felt obligated to finish it, it was definately forced though.

Omg I was literally in the same spot a month ago. I’ve had less motivation than I ever had before, and hated anything I was writing. I decided to take a break from it, and now I’m slowly getting back into it. I personally think you should put it on hold until you’re in the right headspace again. Or if it’s the story in particular and not writing in general, you should probably start a new project.

You can try to change the idea, add plot twists to turn it to a different direction, or rewrite some parts to make it more “you!” :))

So I decided to discontinue the story and write a new one instead(I’m still thinking about it)

Good luck with your new story. I hope you get enjoyment out of writing it. :relaxed:

Hello! If you really feel that your story is not something you enjoy writing, discontinuing is the better option here. :sneezing_face:
If you feel like you can make adjustments here and there to make it enjoyable for you to write, then put in on hold until you think of something!
For the next story you write, i suggest you to think about what kind of story you would LOVE to have on Episode, and write it! :sunny:
Have a good day/night!

I think you should discontinue the story if it just doesn’t go with you.
If you can’t find the motivation to write your story, as compared to just not liking the story anymore, take a pause.
Work on something new, revamp your story, etc.

Good luck :party_time:

Update: I’ve discontinued the story

Are you planning on writing something new?

Yes I am.
