Writer's Block - Writing Update

[meridian_rose]

As you've probably noticed, I have been posting fic again. It's been a struggle, often, to get the words out – like work rather than pleasure. But I have challenges to do, and so I've squeezed out fic. Every sentence, every finished piece, makes it that bit easier. I'm getting there. So it's time to acknowledge and show gratitude for that. Also thanks to everyone who left me supportive comments on my writer's block entry, and to those of you who leave comments/reviews which make it all seem worthwhile ♥

Yay! I'm glad things are improving :D

Challenges can be helpful that way, I think. They keep one involved.

Oh, yes; first it was expanding on that Anticipation fic, then it was 2 x '3 sentence fic' for legendland, and then the writerverse amnesty fics of which I still have a couple of things left to do. And I felt like they didn't really count at the start, or that these things aren't my best work, but at least I'm writing and that's the important thing :D The challenges helped get past the blank page syndrome!

I'm so glad you're able to write again. Even though it's still hard, you're doing it, and I imagine it will get easier with time. Knowing you, it probably won't take much time at all. D

I applaud your determination to express yourself, even during the difficult times. It's a sign of real strength.

Thank you!
But it's really more me starting off positive, falling apart, then whining in a fairly public space to those who understand - which gets me support and lets me feel better for ranting, and then slowly eking out words until suddenly I'm back on the horse without realising it :D
But having a support system, knowing it's ok to fall apart sometimes, and having learnt it's okay to do 'not my best work' when I have to are really important things that are still fairly new to me. You and everyone else commenting here make the process easier to bear and work through. HUGS.
