    It's become increasingly apparent as of late that I hate all the trash I write and I have the strangest impulse to just quit everything. It's depressing. I used to throw myself in everything I wrote, and I used to adore how it made me feel. Now all I do is get frustrated because I know I can never be good enough at it.

    Not so much a loss of interest. More like a recession. I think as long as I have notebooks to fill, I'll be writing.

    Sometimes I lose interest in writing one story because I get too interested in starting the sequel. This can happen two thirds into a story and is not so good.

    It just happened actually. Two nights ago i got a plot idea for the sequel of 'If You Get Yo Heaven' and couldn't think of anything but that damn sequel all day so when I finally got home, that is what I started writing.

    Then I rushed down the current chapter.

    Lost interest in a story, yes.
    Lost interest in writing, no.
    Never.

    Yes, it happened several times. Last when I lacked readers or when I realized that I wrote only to get rid of some old feelings - my writing was much biased.
    But now I'm back and...for the time being...not willing to give up. :snob

    I'm constantly thinking about stories, I'm just uninterested in writing them down. It's...weird.
    That's how I am. I have a million ideas in my head, but I just can't write them down.
    same.

    Now that I think about it, I've never lost interest in writing.
    I've always wanted to write something amazing.
    I've always wanted to write. Tell stories.
    It's just getting it down on paper that I have problems with.
    I just don't believe in myself or can't find the words.

    I used to love to write and update (during my Quizilla! years). Then, suddenly, I just didn't like it anymore. Like the first post says, it was more of a chour. I think, though, it was just a phase, because now, quit recently actually, I've gotten back into writing and I'm starting to love it like I used to.

    All the time.
    I get in the mood to write for a couple of days every moth, at most.
    Even then I usually can't get the words down the way want them.

    I lost interest in writing late last year and I've recently got it back, now that I've shifted from the Welshie fandom into the Funeral For A Friend fandom (I tend to look at those two fandoms as different ones, even though FFAF are welsh, because most of the people who read and write the Welshie fandom tend to overlook FFAF). I've got a really big interest in writing right now.

    I had for these past two months. I think it's just a procrastination thing on my part because I cannot be bothered to do anything lately. I get bored extrememly quickly lately and writing just doesn't attract me as much as it did before. I've tried to write things down but they end up rubbish so I delete them.

    Whoa! This sparked a memory, I think it was last year when this happened, I was just writing this random story then I stopped...Just stopped writing all together, for about 5 months!
    It scared me.

    Yeah, whenever I update this once good story that I realized was just… bleh. What else? My poetry and lyrics don’t come out of me anymore—its like, I’ve lost my passion to write my music, but I guess its because I’ve lost inspiration.

    occasionally. although i think it's more a case of not having the time combined with writer's block. which means that i just start to think, "nah, i'm not arsed."

    it doesn't worry me, though. i know i'll get back into writing properly this summer, when my exams are over. :]

    When I was younger, I used to write a lot.
    And then when I was in 4th grade I just stopped. I didn't have time and ... I don't even know, I just randomly stopped.
    Then at the end of 6th grade/start of 7th, I started reading a lot more and I guess that kind of rekindled my love of writing.

    Not lost interest, but it's not as easy as it used to be for some ungodly reason, which sometimes makes me feel apathetic towards it.

    Just recently. :XD
    For the last month, since I went back to school, I just haven't had the energy to write, but today, I sat down, got some inspiration, and started coming up with an idea.
    I can't seem to start it, but I will. Oh gosh, I will.

    I had a little 'break' from mibba early last year, I think. I was just totally uninterested. My writing was terrible.
    But. . .I came back. I deleted the stupid stories, and I kept writing until I improved (God knows how I improved. . .I still don't write terrifically).

    Now, to be honest. I have no desire to complete any story I've got on Mibba. Simply because I don't want to write 'fan fiction' anymore. I like the plots, but I'm not fond of how they orientate around one band boy or another. I think I'm going to remove them all soon :shifty and maybe just write original one shots from now on.
