Something that frustrates me a lot at the moment is that I can tell my writing has been improving, I can see how I’ve started figuring out certain aspects of story and language, and I’m so much better than I have been at any point in my life, but I haven’t been able to make anything work in original fiction in ages. Every time I try it feels so dry and contrite, and I hate it because I CAN write better now, but even with shitty writing my old original stuff has something that shines and I can’t seem to recapture that? Even if I just try to rewrite or just straight edit up old stuff. And its especially infuriating because I feel like I should be writing SO MUCH right now, I have a shitty part time job and lots of time. I have no excuse to not be writing.
