i feel like i speak for a lot of au authors and creatives when i say a the longer we need to self isolate and live in this situation, the more difficult it becomes to work on literally anything creative. it& #39;s such a task to get myself to write, even though i want to do it (+)

i have stories i want to share with you guys and it makes me sad that i haven& #39;t posted stuff for so long. but the words which used to come so easily are now so stilted. i used to use every spare second to write, and now if i don& #39;t literally force myself to it doesn& #39;t happen.

i& #39;m seeing a lot of other authors say similar things - they& #39;re struggling with being creative, they WANT to write, but the process just isn& #39;t happening.

if you& #39;re an author that& #39;s going through this, i want you to know you& #39;re not alone. it& #39;s not just you.

and it& #39;s not your fault that you can& #39;t produce work or feel the same drive to create as you did before. your brain is trying to deal with an incredibly difficult situation, and you& #39;re going to have only so much extra energy. your needs and desires are going to change.

and as for readers, please be patient with authors. don& #39;t ask when updates are coming. don& #39;t unfollow just because a writer hasn& #39;t posted anything in a month. don& #39;t shame us for not creating content. we& #39;re trying harder than i think many of you realize.

this post is also an incredibly long-winded way to say i& #39;m trying to work on new stuff for your guys, but i feel like hours of work is barely any progress. i don& #39;t know how to fix it. i hope things get better soon.
