I am too afraid to beginning anything. I have a million ideas, but every time that there is a blank page, I panic. Also I have like a million issues that I'd like to do a Young Werther/Goethe or Confessions of a Mask/Mishima type thing, but then suddenly, I get lost again.

And I hoped there would be like mini programs or challenges or things to get back into writing, starting with small stuff and working my way up or SOMETHING but nope, other than camp nanowrimo...

I suppose I have to motivate myself. No one else can rescue me...

@guerrillarain Writing is hard for me, too. It's gotten easier the longer I've struggled with beginning this new habit. Related for me: doodling. I used to draw a ton of doodles when I had a moment, and it let my creativity flow and whimsically. I was struggling with the same for writing, but I conceived the closest word to express the same was "scribbling."

Try "scribbling" a little prose until you can be tied to a piece, maybe?

Good luck.

@Filene mmmm that's probably a better idea, since I try to like sit down and expect near-masterpieces to just be done on the first try rather than a work in progress that will see revision later...
