how do i write a thing
i've always wanted to do like a page a day but my writing isn't good yet and may never be and that's demotivating to me
also i secretly want to get rich and famous and despite wanting to use writing as a means of self-expression it also feels pointless if i don't have anyone to impress
>no replies
it's because i'm secretly better than all of you, isn't it?

Thats not why ya silly. It's usually slow on Saturdays, more so on New Years Eve (which by the way, Happy New Years). So the rate of or willingness to respond will be slow.
How to write a page a day? Well if it hasn't been working so far, maybe change the concept a little? 'Every day I will write about "this" or "that"? You can start purely descriptive, then edit out all the boring shit. If you feel yourself getting bored halfway through, begin to include some of those intrusive thoughts.
Kind of like when I realize I should get off an image-board on New Years..
But back to the subject at hand. Things are hard to do because they seem harder to carry out than they actually are to perform. This seems like a total banality, but it becomes scarily true once you realize that 'that' feeling of "god, its gonna suck finishing this. Or doing 'that' next" never goes away, even as you're doing the thing.
It can eventually diminish overtime as you get better (when it becomes more of a habit, it becomes 'less' of an activity you have to consciously make happen), but it never fully goes away. Sometimes coffee or booze helps to block that voice out, but it comes back. But that voice is necessary to the process. If you sitting down and moving pen is one hand, you're nagging procrastinating voice is the other to a dance you'll be playing with awhile.
