Do you have any advice for somebody who has not written in 10 years and wants to return to it but is too nervous to try?
Hey friend. Honestly I have been in pretty close to your position before. You can get back into it!
There are some ways to help ease yourself back in if you have a partner or someone willing to listen to you.
Describing scenes that you want to write, or telling someone about a story idea you have can be very motivating.
If you can find an rp partner, doing written, paragraph style rp for a bit can break down the intimidation factor of writing.
But ultimately, when its just you and the page, you just gotta do it.
You just gotta put words on the page and remember that it doesn’t matter if they’re good or not cause you can always re-write it later. You just gotta express yourself.
Often I find that once that barrier of *not* writing has been broken– once you have physically started the act of putting words on the page– its a lot easier to write what you actually want to write.
