Maybe I’m not the creator, im definitely not a creator.
I tried writing a book, I’m good and all but I don’t have the patience, I feel like if I am to concentrate on writing I will go nuts, I’m already nuts ffs.
I need to be at peace with the fact that I wouldn’t be a writer… It sucks
When i have been manic over the years i have started books that never progressed or came to completion. I just don’t have the attention span or ability to focus to get all my disorganized thoughts into something like a book. I do write poetry and that’s easier for me. Although i haven’t written anything in a couple months. Haven’t been very motivated.
Don’t give up ! I can tell you as a published author that it is worth fighting for…so glad I have a book out there that can help people understand schizophrenia…not boasting here…just wanted to give you a little hope…if you write fifteen minutes a day you can complete a lengthy book in just a year. there’s that.
We can create life, we can end life. I’ve changed drastically on different meds, especially due to side effects and traumas. This has created an ever changing, me. Never sell yourself short because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring🙃. Today not a writer, but tomorrow something could change.
I think if it turns into work or you set high standards for yourself it’s just going to drive you nuts. Maybe if you take a break and focus on another hobby for a bit your muse will come back to you.
@anon92220549, have you tried blogging? It’s very free form writing and doesn’t have to be organized into anything like a book. You might start a WordPress account and just put your ideas out there. And it’s free of charge unless you want to upgrade. Anyway, that’s what I do.
It took me 2 years, but by just doing what I do, I’ve gained 50 followers. It just takes persistence, if you want to try it. You never know until you try.
I think blogging is a good suggestion. I had a blog for a while on Blogger. If i ever do it again i might try Wordpress just to try something different. It might be worth a shot.
