Okay so the problem is that I'm trying to write a sort of self help, but sort of narrative sort of deal about anxiety. It's in 1st person, fictional characters, with actual anxiety help.
I can't 1) come up with a real plot that is decent and relatable. I don't know what would be considered interesting by readers because I don't usually write this realistic of fiction. Also, I don't think readers will understand if the main character has anxiety over nothing. She's just anxious and it has no cause. It has triggers. But no real reason.
2) In order to write about anxiety, I must think about how it felt when my anxiety was out of control. It's making me upset and uncomfortable. All around just anxious.
I really want to write this because I think it can help readers. But it's flipping hard. I'm writing 1/5 of what I normally do in a day. Less actually. I think readers could relate and it could help them. I want to sell this as an ebook. Just a short little novella. 20 - 30,000 words. But I CAN'T.
Should I drop the whole thing?? I don't want to, but writing it is basically killing me! This is the first break I've had in a long time. Writer's block has been awful lately and this is the only thing I can get down. Help me please. What do I do?
