I won’t entertain the pathetic cries of a pro-Uchiha simpleton.

I tend to feel like I'm taking way too long to write things and end up stopping or even starting from scratch because I feel like I'm overthinking it all. Do you have any tips for this?

I often feel frustrated when I feel like I'm not making process, but there are a lot of people who have been in that boat, and there are ways to overcome it.

Chunk your goals. It's fairly easy to make unrealistic goals when writing. If you keep blowing your writing goals, you're likely setting the bar much higher than you should be. Don't beat yourself up for it - many writing professionals settle for 300-600 words a day as a goal. If you're struggling with that, 250 words is a good easy pace to set to start with.

Track your goals. Look, here's what I do. I break my project down to scenes (or outline goals when planning it), I make a big chart of all those scenes, and I give myself a fun sticker for each scene I finish. It's hugely motivating and a great wall to still work on your story without writing. You can make a spreadsheet or use a gamification app, but finding a fun way to reward yourself for making progress can keep you going.

Have deadlines (within reason). Deadlines are great, but also DON'T SET UNREALISTIC DEADLINES. "I will finish a novel in a month" is an insane goal done for the sport of it and cannot be sustained all year long. "I will finish three scenes this week" is a much more realistic goal that you can adjust up and down the following week. Don't give yourself a goal you will beat yourself up for missing.

Give yourself a day off (or two). Something I've learned the hard way is that I have to force myself some downtime to keep my creativity from burning out. The advice of "write every day" is, most people agree, not that helpful in the long run. Give yourself a day to relax - or two days, if you spend one of them being too busy to relax. Resting is hugely helpful for the writing process.

Don't get it right, get it done. The biggest barrier you will face is the desire to get it right the first go around. You gotta listen to me on this - the first draft is shit. It's supposed to be shit. Your first and foremost goal is to get from start to end. It doesn't matter how many "fix this later" notes you have to leave yourself. It doesn't matter if you have to write "somehow they get to the village" even if you have no idea how. I promise you that you will figure that out later. Just get it done.

None of these steps are easy to do all at once, so take your time. If you find that you just can't make progress, do some other creative outlet to keep thinking about your story. Color code your outline by character and goal (and if you don't have an outline, that's a great thing to fall back onto making when stuck). Create a playlist for your story. Info-dump self-indulgent tangents about your characters. Ease yourself into a process that works for you!

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important

If anything they’re $&@*%#€-ing in the afterlife 🤷

In Hashirama’s defense, the massive face sculpture was initially meant for his ungrateful Uchiha boyfriend

I can't believe some guys accused the Uchiha of being too "self centred" and "unable to see beyond themselves" and then went and carved massive sculptures of their own faces on a mountain.

Back from my hiatus just to remind y’all that this is NOT the face of a war criminal

You literally said "Oh, so you want everyone to go back to the Warring States Era where there were child soldiers no clean water no American drinks? Oh ok." You have bad memory huh? That is why you like Ha-shit-rama? Because you are unable to remember all the shit he did?

You literally made that up. And I remember what Hashirama did, he built the hidden village system from the ground up. Sure it had its flaws, but it was worlds better than when it was just clans fighting each other.

[shin-suusenju]

Look at him

Does this look like someone who screwed up the course of history? I think not.

Hashirama did nothing wrong.
