Something about nothing.

By TheEndOfMrsY · Feb 19, 2012 · ·
  1. Basically, im going to babble on for a bit as to why ive decided to join this site despite not actually have written much in a good couple of years.

    I'm hoping i can regain my love for writing as well as giving me something to do on those lazy days I find myself having more and more of. I seem to of gotten myself into a bit of a rut and have become goalless as to what i want to achieve in life.

    My plans over the last year included:

    work hard in uni - fail.
    actually finish something im writing - fail.
    become somewhat less of a pessimist - fail.

    Ive come to the conclusion that I dont actually do much these days, my sense of achievement is limited to completing the current book im reading or listening to my boyfriends achievements which are definitely a lot more than mine.
    Im hoping by getting back into writing i can give myself a bit of a boost and have something to be a bit more proud of. The things I enjoy writing mostly consist of horror and the weird, im not very girly and the vast majority of my writing rarely have a happy ending.

    I would absolutely love feedback to anything I write, how can i improve without constructive criticism right?

    Totally ! I can relate to that...

    "Don't let the inevitable mess up your life its only a feeling or the emotion of failure that causes the mind to seize in a fear of nothingness" - it's an illusion...

    I'm in the same boat as you. Totally uninterested in many stuff lately but what I find a good motivation to start and finish a task is to look at other people doing it, reading about writers often inspires me to do my best, even though I've hardly finished any story I thought of.

    Good luck!

    I have absolutely no drive. I never have been. I've always been incredibly laid back & a "go with the flow" type of person. The biggest achievement of my days include loading & unloading the dishwasher & cleaning the litter box (of course this will change when I move into my new apartment). So, I can kind of relate with you. I also know what it's like to kind of lose the writing bug for a bit. To me, personally, I hate it & feel useless when that happens.

    Welcome to the site! I joined a couple of months ago & it's been a tremendous help to me. I hope you enjoy yourself, & happy writing. : )

    Well I hope this increases my motivation too then :)
    I figure that if I can do something like this it might help me to be more motivated with uni work ect instead of leaving everything to last minute which becomes a pain!
