How do you keep going ?
I have been saying I wanted to write a story for years . I have an idea for one , an outline , characters and for some reason I cant write it all the way . I have a written a few pages but every high that I can get from writing a scene suddenly drops in the next one . It makes me feel sad and I don't want to be resigned to this . I want to go all the way . I want to write the beginning the plot to the finale.
I find joy every time I read a book with a story I know I will like . Every time I finish that book I keep thinking this is what my own story could feel like , the joy and the excitement I feel I could share that with other people . I want to so badly . It hurts every time I stare at my blank screen wondering why the words wont come . How do you do it ? Even when you have everything planned , how do you just sit down , write and suddenly find yourself with a whole novel written ?
I wish there was some magic way to do it but I know writing isn't easy . I do it because I love it and I want others to love words to . I want to . I want to . When I should just do it . I just really wish I could finish this one thing in my life .To see what I made out of , what’s so far deep inside of me that even I cant see it .

Turns out writing a story isn't easy peesy lemon squeezy
Me : Puts a self imposed deadline to inspire motivation to write till the end
Me while writing : stares at screen several times , wants to bang head against wall repeatedly , cant stop hating when I back read

Sticking to your outline hurts
Me : ok so my character has difficulty trusting people so I can’t have her and the other character share their real names yet .
Me after one paragraph of dialogue : this would be easier if I could use their real names … NO I have to stick to my outline , it has to be a slow burn
Me : :(

Sudden inspiration
Me : What if I had one of my characters obsessed with Caesar salad but for no particular reason ?
My friend : Oh yeah , you could have a funny backstory to it
Me : Good idea
Also me ten minutes later : Ok why would my character have this obsession ? trauma ? strange quirk ? common inspiration … this is harder than I thought it would be
