FanFiction and Other Problems

[float_on_alright]

I’m struggling a little with my story. I feel like I might have taken further than it was willing to go. Like it wasn’t really interested in being what I thought it was supposed to be. I don’t know if that makes sense. I may post it up to the point that it liked and then work on maybe making a follow up or a seperate story all together to see if maybe I can write what I had originally set out to write. I stopped writing my daily writing things again and I haven’t done a chapter of “The Artist’s Way” in a while which would probably also be good for me. I also haven’t been writing stories this month. Mostly my writing has been journaling, which is fine, but it hasn’t been much and it doesn’t push me like writing fiction does. Well, sometimes journaling about issues and thoughts and such does push me and it does help me but that’s in a different way than the writing fiction (even fanfiction). Journaling can push me on a personal and emotional level, hopefully towards growth and better mental health, but it’s not like it really helps me be a better writer. 

I say that, but at the same time I do think the journaling helps clear out some of the dumbshit you get stuck in your head that blocks you from writing. And it’s definitely a good thing to clear out the bullshit for a number of reasons but including the ability to write a little better. 

I’m hoping this will help me shake this story loose.
