Like I have tons of characters and stories but they are either entirely based or loosely based off of rps I did when I was in middle or high school (I am 23 now and a collage grad) and that bothers me because they are not entirely mine. I want something original and I sit here and try to come up with something original but my mind just remains blank or I get maybe a millisecond of something and then it is gone and it angers me because it seems to come so much more naturally to other people.
WAIT I’m the same way! I have severe ADHD and can’t focus on shit so I haven’t written in so long. Like three short stories last year and that’s it. Nothing like I used to do. I feel so guilty calling myself a writer when I do more daydreaming about my stories than I do actually writing them. The imposter syndrome is real
I feel like every day is a waste of my time. Maybe it is just because I sit here and strive for perfection too much or I am older and can no longer daydream. I see people who can fill sketch books in a matter of months or even weeks. I want something that I can deeply connect to and that I am passionate about. I don’t know if anyone else feels the way I do and I feel stupid for being like this because other people around me dont understand.
