Seeing @narurinne finish her ✨BEAUTIFUL✨ Visual Novel has inspired me to pick up VN Coding again. A couple months ago I had a fun idea to start an original otome dating sim. As a human being, I have a bad habit of leaving my creative endeavors half-done and it leaves me feeling upset with myself... so for once in my life, I don’t want that to get the better of me!!!

The bad news: not everyone will like what you do.

The good news: that does not mean you should stop.

Yes, this sounds rough at first, and its supposed to!

The reason I say this is because songwriting is easy. There is always something to sing or rap about. The universe is always giving us material through our own daily lives, sitting and thinking about things of the past, or things going on outside of our personal lives. You will always have something to write about.

There are many factors that can throw you off when you are trying to write lyrics. The environment might be too loud or overused. You can fix it, or move to write in another location that day. You may have things you have to do that day that distract you from sitting down and writing. Prioritize, either write before you do everything else, get the easy stuff done then write, or do everything you need to do so you have time to write. You’re tired or really stressed? I suggest work out, take fatigue supplements and address about overall health, but if you cant, alter your state for writing with drugs that awaken and enhance creativity. 

You see the pattern? There's some things out of our control, but theres a solution to everything. The more you think about getting things done, the more of a burden they become and the less you get done when you know you can do more. Ask yourself how rather than why when you find it harder to put in the time and practice writing.

Are you expected to make a classic when you are faced with these challenges? Hell no. When you are faced with these challenges, instead of thinking of it as a struggle, think of it as a challenge for you to write something good. It will at least get you to the seat and writing. There are some days where you are just staring at a blank piece of paper even after getting yourself in the mood and environment that should be enhancing your writing. The important part is sitting and trying to write something. When you decide that your situation is not letting you sit down and write, you decided that your art is not important enough to you. Hate to make it sound so blunt, but music isn’t something you get good at doing it as someone else does something for a hobby.
