What are you procrastinating on writing right now?

Finishing up a few scripts for videos I want to make.

Started this novel-length sci-fi racing story about a driver struggling through his depression and anxiety as he re-enters the sport years after a crash. I am being hella slow with it and need to pick up the pace. I guess--like my driver character--I'm working through something too; in my case, procrastination.

Exactly like that. And I don’t enjoy it. Nuh-huh. Okay, ready to tackle it today... or not. Maybe I will coast for a while on descriptions of the tight pants and corsets they just have to wear

Hey there! Nice to see you on Tapas!

For me, the scene I'm writing right now is one where I'm trying to grasp the beginnings of romantic tension. I think I've got the tension part, but the romance part has slipped through my hands.

[domisotto]

Thank you. I am just re-posting for now, but will try to write something specifically for Tapas afterwards

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

I have the same here as on wp xD
book 2... probably just here

[carreonaiwille]

I'm supposed to be revising a scene where MC is under shock and interacts with new people who insist on looking after her. First version seemed plastic and cheesy, trying to make it more organic. I am in a different headspace since I wrote the first version.

Thank you for this thread.

I'm supposed to write the first episode of my 2nd season but I'm currently putting it off because I don't know how to start it, lmao.

[sweetabsynthium]

No problem! Sounds like a cool scene, I hope it goes well!

[sweetabsynthium]

I just realized I'm going to have to do a sex scene involving a trans man which means research. And I'm not quite so close with my trans masc friends that I can just shoot them wildly intrusive questions about their love life so... time to hit up strangers on the internet!

[sweetabsynthium]

Have you tried... an alarm clock ringing?

[sweetabsynthium]

If it's a big family gathering, it sounds like a lot of characters to juggle. Big turning points are so hard to get the motivation to write. I hope you push through!

[kmlangleyauthor]

It is a lot of characters, and quite a few that have never interacted before, so, in theory, it should be super fun to write all the crazy things that happen with various (clashing) personalities!! In my head it sounds like so much fun! And then I stare at my screen and cry lol

That moment when everything is going well, and then you realize you're running out of prewritten material:

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

Yeah I was like that at the start and when I uploaded first.
Now with the complete novel at hand i feel way better and already ten chapters into book 2, that I'll start posting in october, so... that feels nice xD

[lunagraves714]

Yeah, the good news is I planned my first book out already from start to finish while mildly under the influence (legally) so I'll be okay, just very busy after the next couple weeks

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

sounds good LOL
Having it planned out is awesome

[lunagraves714]

Agreed. My other series started as a shot in the dark and it can be stressful figuring out the middle part

[WolfUnderTheMoon89]

yes
My first novel I only had the major points plotted out, second book I have a overview per chapter ready

[lunagraves714]

Omg on another platform I remember my friends being like "I can't wait to see where this goes!" on my first novel, and I was always thinking "girl, you and me both!"
