Chapter Text
Hello! Thank you for clicking on my story.
I have been fighting a serious writers block with this story. While dealing with this, I’ve had a lot of time to think and I want to share this with you.
One of the hardest things as a writer with Adhd is when you have an entire storyline but can’t find the words to put in on paper.
I have an overactive imagination, and I see everything like a movie in my mind. So finding the perfect description of what I see without words is challenging.
I’ve had to take a step back and basically bully myself into thinking better about my writing. I had to remind myself that some of my most favorite stories are not as descriptive as my mind remembers.
Just because I can read a book and see it all play out, doesn’t mean the writer explained every tiny detail. Reality is a foreign concept when you have a mind like mine.
Sometimes I think back on something I remember only for it to actually be something I dreamed of a few years back.
So yeah. Writing can be difficult. I’m pushing myself to write this, because I don’t want it to just end up as another lost memory.
The biggest advice I have? There are no rules with writing. Why force yourself to start at the beginning, and prolong the middle and end you’re so desperate to write? Why make it a mission to look up every single word other than “said” or “asked”?
It’s your story. Write it how you want. If people like it great. If they don’t? Then they aren’t your target audience.
