    @ OctoberA7X Haha, I tend to eavesdrop on conversations way more than I should be. It's good dialogue, I can't help it!

    @ ohcalamity
    Exactly, I get so much crap for being nosy but I can't help it, life situations are my muse despite what genre i'm writing in

    @ The Alpha's Angel True, it's just very annoying, you know? Sometimes I wish I was just a kind of switch where I could turn my ideas on or off, so I wouldn't be daydreaming in class or stuck in front of an empty Word document in my free time. Sigh; if only it were that easy.

    @ Goddess of Floyd YES! EXACTLY! Time and motivation; the ultimate enemy.

    @ OctoberA7X Thank you, and I think that's a trait all writers share. We're observant people (nosy at times) and we just use the world around us as our cloud of inspiration. And I don't know, I think that's a pretty darn good hobby :)

    @ You-Know-Who Yes, that's exactly it! The product is too processed. It's so frustrating, I get where you're coming from. But you're right; I'll always come back. It's liberating.

    This is one hundred percent me. I've put it down to over thinking everything; and I do! I put so much thought into every little detail and in the end none of it fucking mattered, because now everything is too processed and that's just not good.

    No matter what I say, amidst all the frustration, tears, bruised knuckles and hopeless thoughts, I will always come back to writing. I don't live in this world; I live in my world and it's very different to reality. I need to write; how else will I escape?

    I find that at the end of the day, writing is the one thing that I always come back to. I may try my hand at different things or life may get in the way of me updating a chapter sometimes but I think this is the one thing that I will always fall back on, I honestly think that it's because my mind is in constant story mode. i may see something and think, omg that would make an amazing plot twist and BAM. Just like that I'm on Mibba or Wattpad again. I think that once you start writing it's something that never really goes away because it's your escape you know?

    Great blog by the way!

    I really get this blog. I'm the same. Ever since I started my last year of school, I've had virtually no time to write. I've been lacking motivation and inspiration, and I look back on my older stories and see a better writer there than what I am now. It's frustrating, right?

    The problem is, I have a ton of ideas. I can just never find the time or effort to write them and make them good.

    I'm not the best writer in the world, but I know that I love to write and that Im passionate about it... Everyone goes through different phases whether that be not wanting to write or getting hit by crazy amounts of writers block like me, I always come back to it because it's my escape
