    No, that actually is the reason why I too soldier through those tough writer's block times, and what actually motivates me to sit and and finish things! Because eventually this helps getting me out of it, and everyone's happy. Cute

    And I think about all the stories that I love that never got finished, and I tell myself to stop being such a hypocrite. Shifty

    I guess the thing that sucks is after a long while (multiple months) I'm like, well what's the difference now? But I just got to be like no Grr I can't let my lazy bum-ness win, not this time!

    @ Alex Moore.
    That's actually what I should be doing- writing a lot of it, or all of it, and then posting. That would definitely help having less of these huge break in between updates, haha. tehe

    I always though a co-writer too would really help, because it's less writing and there's another person directly motivating you, but my co-writes always end up deserted and I'm like guys? OMG NO! I just have really bad luck, haha. And my genre of writing has now come and gone in it's prime, so finding readers let alone readers would be sort of hopeless now.Sad

    One day I will have a successful co-write, one day!Kicking

    I have only one more chapter to write before ending my co-write. Chrlsey was really the one that helped me finish it, while I feel sad ending this story and been putting of writing the last chapter. After that it will only be uploading....

    I just feel really guilty forever (even though the longest I've gone without updating is about a month). I just feel really bad for whatever reason. Like, what if those people are really worried about the next section of the story? (Even if people don't show it.) It usually just eats at me.
    So when I get writer's block, that guilt gets about a thousand times worse and I just soldier through it.
    It probably doesn't help that I have a mild form of OCD so I have to update or else it eats at me like a bug in the brain.
    I'm sorry if this didn't help at all.
