So, I'm taking up writing again. I'm trying to write again. I took a bit of a break....or rather I'm been wrapped up in D&D that I just haven't worked on anything else. I'd like to think I'm doing well with my writing if D&D is anything to talk about. There's a lot of typing and hundreds of thousands of words that have gone into my notes. Worlds are created, and lore is written and rewritten. Plus I get to have fun with my friends. I wish I could be more focused on my books. I find it difficult to write for those for some reason. Maybe because there's no deadline? With my D&D content, I have to have something to share with my friends otherwise I feel like I let them down somehow? I'm not the best person, let alone the best friend. So, D&D feels like the one place I can show them something nice. I can present an idea to my friends without being too hard with my opinions, being demeaning, or being dismissive.
It could also be because it's easier to write when there are others helping you. I have my friends to bounce ideas off of with D&D. With my books I have no one. It's up to me and me alone to write them. There's no action and reaction, there's no roll of the dice. It's whatever my dumb little brain can think of to type out.
To help with writer's block, I've been just talking into my microphone. I verbally tell a story in my speech to text and publish the results daily. I don't know what I'll do with it, it just gets me into a mood for writing. My only problem with that is I have a life outside of my books. Two other careers and a family to take care of. I'm tired. I have little motivation to even get out of bed let alone write. Let's hope my Wattpad story Run, Run, Run gives me the motivation I need to keep writing. Who knows? I might even publish it whenever I'm done.
