Take 2!
So here I am a year later and I am back into this same slump. I know what I am passionate about and what I want to do, I just don't know how to get started. I lack motivation. I can get started and then soon after I lose interest and focus. How do I stay motivated? What do you do to stay motivated? I want to be better, I just don't know how to be better. I did do something completely out of character, I submitted a short story to the Writer's Digest Annual Writing Contest. Normally I don't let anyone read anything I write; which is so dumb because I want to be a legitimate writer. I fear judgement, I am scared that people will tell me that I'm bad and I'll get embarrassed. But I threw caution to the wind and submitted a story. I even let my mom read it and she loved it! I need more of that feeling, I miss the days of not caring what others thought and I just wrote or sang because I could and I enjoyed it. So here I am on a Saturday morning, story in my head
