Unlocking the Secret to Rediscovering Your Passion for Writing
When I start feeling that writing isn’t fun anymore, I go find a novel and read it. A good novel. One that’s fun to read. One that makes me believe I’m the protagonist of the story. One that takes me on an adventure.
Somewhere in the middle of the story, the author will make a decision I don’t like. And I’ll think, “I could have done that better.”
Maybe I really could have written it better. Maybe I’m just delusional. Doesn’t matter.
What matters is that I’m reading a good story and feeling the desire to do it better myself. That’s what got me started writing fiction in the first place. That’s what gets me rolling again when I’m in a rut.
