- Reading: I need some help.
I don't know if this is the right board to post this on, this is actually my first time on /lit/, but I thought you all would be the best people to ask.
That is, how do you muster the motivation to write? For years I've been imagining stories and premises and I desperately want to actually write them down, but I just can't. Every time I try I just end up sitting there with the blank paper looking back at me. Half of the time I can't summon the motivation, always saying to myself that I'll do it tomorrow for sure. The other half of the time I end up getting anxious about how no one will like what I wrote and that I'll just be considered a failure.
So please, I need to know, how can I actually sit down and write something? I need help.

it only gets more difficult to rationalize from this point on, friendo.
Just start jotting ideas down. Snippets of conversation, plot ideas, etc. Don't bother trying to make it good. Then begin writing down something, anything. Choose a starting point and let go. Make it a haphazard stream of consciousness if you want to. Let your imagination flow freely. Ideally, in time, you will get the hang of it, and will be able to better structure and organize your ideas, and that's when the real work starts.
