There's a difference between "not wanting to write" and "wanting it to be finished"

Use both to continue writing. If you don't want to write then write what you do want, it's as simple as that.

Write whatever you want.

EDIT: okay you do need it to make sense though.

I don't know about you but what truly motivates me is dialogue.

But what really kills my inspiration are the bits.

You know, the extra feels, and unnecessary character interaction.

The bits.

Just write.

Stop thinking about it, just write it and get it out.

Write it out!

You can do this, it doesn't have to be good, write it until it's good later focus on writing right now.

After finishing Chapter 2, if you're still feeling hype and wanna write more go for it.

But if you're a fool, like me, and decided to sign up for 25 prompt fills for Ladiesbingo be prepared to have to force yourself to write something else.

EDIT: it's not unpleasant

There are people who will reuse the word "supernova" three times in the same sentence to describe one thing, and that's okay. Let them do them.

Even if you worry about repeating the word "gaze" more then twice in one chapter.

It doesn't matter if you're "good" at writing!!

Stop thinking about!!

Also, if you're a reader of fanfiction before a writer going back to reading might be extremely weird and awkward. Like meeting up with an ex after not hearing from them for two years. (But you still remember everything about them.)

You know that feeling you get when you look at your writing and think, "this is terrible" don't even worry about that yet.

Focus on finishing, focus on getting all your ideas down.

You can make it look nice later.

When you get better at writing.

-AruWolf

When the fanfiction that you've written is so bad you have to start over, don't stress just open a brand new document and let the blank page stare into your soul.

And if you don't have a soul, no problem, just post the fic and cringe every time you don't get a comment.

Just write it. It doesn't matter if it's good, it doesn't matter if people will like it, write it for yourself. Write it so you can look back and say, "yeah I wrote that."

It might not be enjoyable 100% of the time, hell MOST of the time you'll question yourself, and question whether you should continue.

But just finish it. Just get to the finish line.

Look back and say, "At least it's complete."

-AruWolf

Make up words and their meanings, just do it. No one's gonna notice or call you on it. The world is your playground.

EDIT: Okay this was a bad plan, nevermind that. Focus on sticking to pre-existing terminology for syfy and fantasy. It's there for a reason.

EDIT EDIT: scrutinization isn't a word
