    - Have ideas for characters that could potentially be very interesting ... then struggle to get them on to paper as I am not sure the exact 'perfect' way to write them and almost want them to write themselves.

    - When I do start writing, I don't stop for a while as I get fully immersed into the story but all grammar and structure, gradually breaks down until all I have is an over detailed scene .. eventually I gather together enough will to check it over and spend too long going back over and fixing 'issues' that the story falls that I gradually dig the story so deep at one point, I can't find an easy way out.

    - ... sentences that are too long.

    - Also heavily influenced by what I am currently reading and so try to combat this by reading / listening to more (in theory different things) ... but inevitably I get into a theme.

    Currently it is books that are based on Games / being in a Game:
    Ready Player One - Ernest Cline,
    Off to be the Wizard - Scott Myer,
    Opening Moves - Cosimo Yap and
    NPCs - Drew Hayes

    Though despite the similarity Aenon actually came about before I read any of these so may have been more of a precursor to the theme rather than result of this time ...

    Most people: This song really touched me, this relates to me a lot!
    Me: This song really touched me, this relates to my fictional character a lot!


    - I have zero motivation...
    - Terrible Writing Advice literally has helped me more than all the "top ten ___ to avoid in your writing" articles combined.
    - I'M SO SORRY ASHLA BECAME A MARY SUE!!!
    - I never complete any of the solo's I start...
    - Many writers take constructive criticism by lashing out and fiteing. I take it by obsessing over everything and burning out before finishing my next project.
    - I'm lazy. I never get any writing done regardless.
    - I have all these ideas and plans but I never actually write them.
    - I'll quit writing anything for a month or so then suddenly get back to it more refreshed. But I have no idea where I left off now...

    - I'm finally overcoming the laziness!
    - I'm steadily becoming the person who nags their rp partners to post... sorry.
    - I get tedious over physics, historical martial arts accuracy, and tiny details.
    - I try to stay away from writing cliche tropes but I enjoy writing cliche tropes. I feel like a bad writer for this.
    - I can't write villians. Or at least enjoy it.

    • Reevaluating the entire story because I spotted a plot hole.
    • Twenty billion hours of research later: "I still have no idea how to describe a murder stroke."
    • MOAR SHOCKING DEATH SCENES! MOAR GRIMDARK! MUST BE DARK AND "REALISTIC" ENOUGH! - Ew, my story is too dark. This is so depressing! I should lighten up the mood here - GAH! PEOPLE (as in Star Wars "fans") HATE LIGHT HEARTED STORIES! ADD IN MOAR BLUD! - I hate how depressing and gloomy this is! I need to add a scene where everybody just has fun... - OH MY GOODN-
