So this will be fairly brief, because I’m too stressed right now.
I have been doing a writing course which I have been loving, every week we have to send a piece in by the deadline and when it comes back it has notes on what to work on, what was good, what wasn’t etc. So far I have always had an idea straight away and have just felt it, and the feedback has been really positive. I felt so good about it that I even posted one of them here.
This week though is an even higher word count with a topic that I thought of something for straight away but as I started to write the same magic hasn’t happened. I have roughly half the amount of words I need and every paragraph seems like a contradiction to the one before, and I now only have a day to rewrite it. I’m not even sure I can but it’s a deadline that I cannot miss, so I will have to hand something in. So that’s where I am curently, elbow deep in possibly the worst thing I’ve ever written trying to make something of it…

Good luck! We all have days where our writing looks meh. You know that you can write. Ignore your feelings (they’ll lead you astray right now) and just write.

Virtual hug! Take heart. Breathe deep. The words will come, let them flow without judgement. Then come back and sort them out.

Good luck on your deadline! Keep writing, even if it feels like yuck, and often something good will come out of it.

Thanks, I managed, you’re right I just had to go through some pretty awful paragraphs before something a little better came out. Still not what I was going for but done on time 🙂
