Sounds like you need to calm down a bit.

First off, I want to say that you ARE NOT A FAILURE. If you believe that, which isn’t true, how is that going to encourage you to write more? You cannot force yourself to write, but you can always talk through it. You can always ask for ideas, ask for support. How is believing your writing a mess and yourself a failure going to bring you ANY good? I ask you, why would you believe that? You are unique, maybe you struggle to write, but that doesn’t make you worthless. Material things do NOT define us.

Now that that has been said, here’s my advice.

Routines are good, but you cannot expect your brain to give you ideas because you want them.

I suggest you take notes on things you are planning, write your ideas out ahead of time so you know what you want to write.

Skip a scene if it’s frustrating you, take breaks for fresh air, try moving your writing space to a different location. All of these are things that can help.

It’s possible you might be overthinking it. It doesn’t have to be the perfect combination of words that flows perfectly and has correct punctuation.

Idk if any of this makes sense, but I agree with what @taylorclogston said, routines can help, and setting goals ahead of time can too.

Let me know if there’s anything I can do for you, I’ll always be here to encourage you if you need it, just say the word and I’ll be there. 🙂

Hope some of this made sense. XD
