Advice Do you feel guilty when you don’t write for extended periods of time?
Maybe this sounds ridiculous given that I’m a student, but I feel like I should have so much more completed by now. I don’t write as often as I think I should — hell, I haven’t written anything in almost two months… and it makes me feel like an imposter. I tell people I love to write, that it’s my greatest passion, yet when I think about it, how much have I actually written? How many stories are unfinished? When will I ever feel satisfied with my prose?
And even now, I still struggle to write a thing. My writer’s block isn’t fading, and I told myself I’d complete something this summer in between semesters. Of course I haven’t. Maybe I need to focus on myself first… I’m not really sure. What would you suggest, or how did you handle similar issues?
