i have my issues with andy weir but during an interview he did he gave a piece of writing advice that i have never heard any other writer talk about where he basically was like “when you’re writing something, you’re probably going to want to show people bits of it while it’s still in progress because you’re excited but DON’T DO THIS because you’ll lose motivation to keep writing it. no matter how bad you want to show it off, wait until it’s complete” and i know this doesn’t apply to everyone but i have ALWAYS struggled with that. i literally cannot show anyone my WIPs because the air of mystery surrounding it goes away and the anticipation for it is gone so i completely lose interest in writing it
