    @naiya-dyani Will do! Thank you! 🙂

    @hope-mcclellan 😀

     

    I shall join in the conversation!

    I have absolutely NO motivation to write. Ever. (Mostly.) I really want and need to… but like… I dunno how?? I like Hope’s idea of treating yourself, but the problem there is that I, being 15, don’t have a way to get myself into town, which would be the only way I could “treat” myself since I have free range of the pantry at home all the time XD

    (Also, congrats on meeting that word goal!!)

    Word wars are always EXCEEDINGLY helpful for me, but the thing is… I have to first be motivated to actually write. After I get the motivation to write, actually writing isn’t a huge problem. Whenever I sit down at the computer, I always find myself doing my Spanish practice, hopping on a couple friends’ word docs to do a bit of critiquing, listening to music on YouTube… And never doing anything more than opening my doc XD I really need to get over this. I didn’t used to have this problem. Literally, I would spend hours upon hours at the computer, typing away, but now it’s just like… eh. I need to write. Whatever.

    Suggestions?? Ideas?? Anything?? This is becoming especially bad because for months,- ever since… November ended I guess- I haven’t gotten much writing in to speak of at all. And I have a short story that I need to write before too much longer, and I haven’t gotten past the first paragraph.
