RULERZREACHF4N: no,,.
It’s, just,.
Frustra,ting.
I,,ca n’t,get it right.

Hello_willow: what is?

it is actually terrifying what you are capable of

are you having some sort of writer’s block?
or something?

RULERZREACHF4N: it’s,n ot, creativ,e wri,ting.,

Hello_willow: doesn’t have to be for it to be writer’s block
at least that’s how i think it works
and what you have sounds like that
maybe you should sleep on it, give it a rest, and start from a fresh perspective
that usually works for me

RULERZREACHF4N: yeah,ma ybe.

Take,some note,,s
Just,so i
Don’t,forget thin,,gs

RULERZREACHF4N: it’s,okay to,need.help

Hello_willow: yeah, i know that

from thinking about what’s wrong with me
get some breathing room

Notes:

Started writing this along with the other chat fics. At the time, I didn't like how it turned out, so I put it aside until I had some inspiration for it. I reworked it yesterday, and now I am a lot happier with it.
