I feel like I’m very disappointing as an author. Like yeah, sorry I haven’t updated in a while, I’m just severely depressed and have ADHD. No fun trauma story or great author’s curse here I just can’t get out of bed or think good thoughts 😪

I feel the same way. I would do so much better if I had someone to help keep me accountable but alas I am unable to write despite my love for it.

FR sometimes i can get myself to push through if my deadline is “I can’t sleep until I finish this chapter” but my sleep schedule is so messed up already that I’m nocturnal atp and don’t sleep for more than 4 hours at a time 💀 the exhaustion really don’t help with the creativity

I can daydream about plots for hours but as soon as I try articulating it into real words I can’t :,)

Exactly! Swear we need like a writers group on here or discord. Somewhere to keep us accountable and help us write
