Good evening everybody!
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but it's been quite a busy week for me and I haven't been on my laptop all that much.
One thing I am very happy about (some of my Twitter followers would know) is that I am finally getting back into my personal creative writing. This is amazing, I've had some new ideas, and collaborated them with an older idea and now I can't wait to keep on writing whenever I am away from my computer.
The only issue is procrastination. I keep getting distracted by YouTube videos, or I'll see something amusing posted online somewhere and sit and laugh at that for a while. Yes, it's all great, but I feel in a way as if it is holding me back. I see other people's work and begin to doubt myself, then before I know it all my work I was doing for the last hour is gone, and I feel as if I have to begin it again because it doesn't sound right.
Don't be someone like me, because literally, all the work probably needs is a little bit changing to make it completely perfect for you. All you have to do is believe in yourself (that sounds really cliche, but it's true).
This afternoon, I have gone back to the work I began at the start of the year and began working on it again. It's honestly becoming a lot of fun, and I've had a lot of fun doing the research for it, for some of the plot points. Also, another thing is that I've been using Pinterest for some of my planning, looking for the different outfits that the characters can wear and what kind of settings I could use. It's been fantastic and I'm only just getting started.
Don't let other people's work get to you. If you want your work to be unique, it has to come from you and only you. You don't need to compare your work to anyone else's because it is one of a kind. Never listen to those who try to compare you to someone else. Be spontaneous, be different, be unique and love every moment of what you do. Life wouldn't be worth living otherwise, would it?
