I really love writing. I started writing when I was about 9, and ever since then I've always loved it, I also love reading(As long as the book is good). Something's happened lately, however, and it's increasingly difficult to write. I don't know how to explain it. I started working on this novel I had for NANOWRIMO last november(OMG it's 2014). I got 40K words in, the farthest I've ever gotten when it comes to writing a novel, I was so proud of myself. Then I just stopped writing, it's as if it was too boring to write anymore, or something else, and it's felt pretty much that way with every other idea I had or every other story I've been working on. In the case of the NANOWRIMO story, I knew where it was going, I had an idea of the plot, a good idea of how things would be resolved... But I just couldn't continue.
It feels the same with everything else, I get really cool ideas, but they're not whole stories. I sit there and think about them and never actually write them... It's so hard, I can't tell if it's just difficult or if I'm lazy or if everything is boring.
And I've heard the old, if it's boring to write it's boring to read. Okay then, so I try to think of ways to spice it up and get nothing.
I feel like the passion I start out with only lasts 300 words in, then I just give up, I'm no longer interested in writing the story or the idea or even thinking about. I get a day where I'm super interested and then it just disappears...
I REALLY want to write, yet somehow it's difficult, I can't quite do it for some reason... I don't understand, can I PLEASE get some help. Thank you.
