#WriteFeelings

[writingquestionsanswered]

First off, thank you so much for all of your writing advice! You're an invaluable resource when it comes to new writers, and I wanted to thank you for doing what you do!

I am not new to writing, but in the past few months, I've decided to seriously pursue completing my WIPs. I am running into a problem when revisiting my old work, specifically finding motivation to complete them. Most of my WIPs are fully fleshed out with planning docs, outlines, etc., which should make the writing process all that easier. My problem is that once the outline is completed, I am no longer interested in writing the story. I usually try to freestyle my writing, meaning no outline, but I've found that when I freestyle, I often have issues creating a coherent plot. So I've recently turned to creating loose outlines to keep myself on track, but once the outline is finished, I'm no longer interested in the story. I still want to write it, but when I try to use the outline, I find myself getting stuck. Its almost like my brain feels like the story is done and no further development is needed.

So my question is, how do you keep writing once the outline is completed? Is there a way to rekindle the passion for the narratives I've created?

Losing Motivation After Outlining

It does sound like that's what's happening... like after you finish outlining, your brain is saying, "Well, this story is done! Off to the next one!"

I have a lot of ideas for things to try to rekindle your interest in your story. I'll link them all below, and hopefully one will work for you! ♥ Motivational Exercises:

Stuffy and Fluffy

Sweet children till six, but later need a fix

Born out of heaven, their purity is given

To mothers sweet and coy, they come as bundles of joy

Slow to open their eyes, they cry like copious skies

Laugh in a minute and then they cry, hard to keep their nappies dry

Tumble and fall from their beds, they bang the walls with their heads

Slowly but surely they learn to walk, in gibberish they start to talk

Naughty but simple, with all they readily mingle

Enjoy their every prank, but take their stuff and see them crank

They turn their beds into a puddle, and leave their parents in muddle

Fight friends with all might, but hold on to them real tight

Ready to be moulded like loose clay, bare foot they play all day

We may make them stuffy or simple, still time for their first pimple

Copy their parents like God, can get spoiled without sparing the rod

Their moods are never artificial, they know not to act superficial

Riches of the world are futile, a toy for them is more worthwhile

Eager to speak their mind, towards helpless beings they are kind

Their love is for keeps, even if our pockets are not deep

Hardly mince their words, but wage a battle for milk and curds

They eat the dust and chew their nails, love to travel by the rails

Itching to bathe and comb on their own, their actions are never known

From clumsy they turn clever, as sweetness does not last for ever

Sweet children will become adults, but let them make no new cults

Hatred may make them stuffy, but love can leave them fluffy.
