Writers' Cave šŸ’­

Does anyone else start new stories without even finishing other stories halfway? I get so caught up with my new ideas that I have like… so many stories in my Wattpad and Writer’s Portal drafts…

I do. I’m practically an addict now, but I’m going through recovery. My recommendation is to try to merge all the new ideas you have to your existing stories (if you can).

Yes! Story of my life. I try to not publish any more ongoing ones though. I just work on them in secret so readers don’t find out that that’s why I haven’t updated :shushing_face:

I barely update. My readers probably think I’m dead. I got so busy with school and got lazy that I wasn’t consistent. However, my writing is DEFINENTLY better compared to 3 years ago, so y’all will wait.

Geez, three years, Jade? Wow! My readers think I’ve died even though I updated last month. You are for sure a zombie to them now!

I updated in 2017 and 2018, but they probably think I’m a ghost by now. Eh. :hugs:

Yes.

Or does anyone only really write late night/early morning? I get this like ā€œbuzzā€ to write whole chapters from 10 pm to 3 am. When I KNOW I should be sleeping.

Yeah. Night time is usually when I want to write but can’t because my mom will get on my case.

I’ve been through writer’s block a million times

It’s taking me a century to write

I understand I wrote between 11 and 4 a.m. but it gets hard because my parents are so strict. But they don’t understand that’s my creative time and time to express myself if that makes sense.

Even through writer’s block, you write. Just dump all of your thoughts into the portal and something will strike you at some point, promise. That’s not saying you have to sit there for hours, you should take breaks, but writing anything is much better than writing nothing.

im a night owl so i mostly write at night. i dont necessarily write in the portal, though. i go one google docs or my notes and write down as if i was in the portal, then the next morning id paste it and fix teh errors

So close to 500 :astonished:

So close.

Closer…

That works well for me. I write whatever is in my head atm and later when I get a rush of inspiration I add something, remove something etc :smile:

That way I have something like a draft in front of me already.
