Heya! It's been a long time since I've practiced my writing chops, so I'm thinking of writing something little everyday. Hopefully, I'll be consistent again. 

Today I'm gonna talk about the struggle of writing. For starters, I get so anxious that I often end up writing nothing at all. 

Why? 

Cuz my perfectionist *** would never let me finish a piece. Let me give you a behind the scenes look of my writing process: 

I sit down to write. I'm so motivated. As soon as I START WRI- (I erase the sentence. My brain says it's ***. I can do better!!). OKAY, YOU CAN DO BETTER RUVI. 

I start writing again. it's gonna be perfect. Imma complete the whole article in one sho- (*** NOOOO WTH THIS IS ***).

It's okay. It doesn't need to be perfect right? JUST GOOD ENOU- (Nope, my mind disagrees.)

I can't do this. Imma cry. 

STUPID. I SUCK. I SUCKKKKKKK. I HATE MYSELF.

I'm a failure. Life's meaningless. We're all star dusts. I'm gonna di.eee single and broke. 

....

........

oh hold on, I did end up writing something. I'm the KING OF THE WORLD yipppe.


What about you? How does your writing process look like?


P.S. I'm also looking to meet new people here. Send a dm to be friends!

This is both painfully relatable and absolutely hilarious. You've captured THE chaotic rollercoaster when it comes to writing!  The way you’ve written it makes the struggle feel so human and oddly comforting, like a shared experience we’re all in together. xD

My writing process is.... non-existent. I sadly do not have the patience to sit and write because my mind goes tooo fast. It's like a thousand ideas coming at once and I just forget all of them. I do *sometimes* manage to write but it's very rare.
