holds hands to their face

the thought of anita staring out, weither it was to strung a guitar or in the middle of the project, or just staring out. eyes blank, feeling afloat. floating. floating.

floating until two set of hands on their shoulders- each hand held firm and soft. but different.

and anita blinks, life in their eyes come, and they look up. behind them. ortega with her firm hand, and mortum with her soft hand.

anchors. how it is possible to have two anchors.

of course having two anchors hold you down from floating away, of course it kept you from losing yourself- who you were and who you are now.

and simply. ............. yeah.

hiii !! i love u so much n holy shit DADDY NATSUO AHHH IT WAS AMAZING IM ON MY KNEES IT WAS SO GOOD <333

i think this was my first time being active on ur blog while you were in the process of producing this fic and i lovedd how determined u were to finish it even though it was a shit ton of work and takes a load of time to get something like that done,,,i have a lotttt of trouble staying motivated to do things i really wanna do (nd things i have no desire to do but have to get done :/) bc i’m so lazyyy n just keep pushing it off…which leads me to askk….what keeps you motivated to do the things u do n don’t desire even though it can take a lot of time n work to accomplish that goal?

if u have a lot of asks to respond to don’t worry about this one! ur health is wayy more important! i love uuu pls take care of yourself n drink some tea n take naps!

AAAAH HELLO!!! <333 i love u more!!!!! ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )

ehehehe thank you so much bb i’m super duper glad to hear that you enjoyed it!!! <33

OH hehe thank you!!! AH OKAY. hehehehe i know i’ve definitely talked about this a long long long time ago but i can’t find the ask to link you SO!! <3

when it comes to writing, this is going to sound SO fucking cheesy but what keeps me motivated is purely the fact that i love doing it so much. i love the craft, and writing makes me feel better and happy, so that’s my main motivation most of the time!! but in addition to that, i went to school for film (with a focus on screenwriting), and we were taught (forced) to continue working despite a lack of motivation; to just grit our teeth and force our way through because we love creating and want to do it for a living, and this is a very important skill to have if we plan on pursuing that! so that’s a skill i developed and strengthened while in university!

moreover, i love seeing my own hard work pay off; i love finally finishing a piece, reading it and going ‘wow, i’m really proud of this/happy with this’ you know??? especially after working on it for a long time. so that’s also a massive driving force; just creating something i’m happy with!!!

making playlists also helps keep me motivating while writing!!! and i’m always thinking about how excited i am to share it with my blog, and to see how they’ll react to specific parts, etc etc <3

when it comes to things i don’t want to do, i do a few things!

- i usually break the task down into smaller, more manageable pieces, especially since most things i don’t want to do cause me immense anxiety

- i try to keep the outcome in mind and remind myself of how relieved i’m going to feel once it’s over, or how accomplished i’ll feel once it’s done

- i promise myself small rewards if i work for a set amount of time and achieve that goal!! my rewards are usually just watching something or spending time with someone special to me, but it works well for me!! it helps me really sit down and focus on the few hours i’ve set aside for myself to do the work, knowing that i get a nice little break after it’s over <3

aaaah anon bb i hope this helps a little bit!!! it definitely requires some self-discipline, but self-discipline is a skill we’re all capable of, and a skill we all possess!! all you have to do is strengthen it!
