Writing Fiction

» beautifulword - Need some advice

Stop purging. Keep each start and don't worry about it not being perfect. Just keep getting stuff down so you'll have something to work with.

I and many others have been in that same position. What has helped me is to find an existing group or gather a group of writers and would-be writers and start encouraging each other. Moral support helps and having other people to be accountable to helps a bunch. "I'll have two pages done by the time I see you again Tuesday is a lot stronger motivation than just plugging away at it alone if your having a hard time setting down and giving yourself permission to write.

Hope this helps. How is your writing going right now, mizznb?
