I love writing. I love telling stories and putting all the fantasies and day dreams in my head down on paper. I write mostly for myself, though I share some with people and love it when they comment on it.

As much as I love it, I don't do it enough. I get pulled by my vices (video games and anime mostly) and spent way more time on that than anything else. Even when I pull myself away from them, I still have school and work that takes my productivity away, and by the end of it, even if I feel like writing, I don't.

I'd love to get back into it, especially going through my old stories and editing them to be better. It's hard. I want to improve, but often I don't know how. I want to keep doing it and write more, but I don't want to stop enjoying it. I've got so much I need to do, so much else I want to do, and even when I have the time I keep getting distracted.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to vent.

No problem vent away. After months of not writing I finally started up again today. Don't give up. Me I have been a slump because had 4 stories that I was editing. I love writing but editing drains me. But as of today I put 8 new pages together on a story and I am ready to finish other story I had started.

Only advice if you want any is write anything even only a page or a paragraph. Just by starting that little bit might be all you need to get the gears going and you be back to writing before you know it.
